India's productive opening day at Edgbaston
Shubman Gill's century under pressure and Yashasvi Jaiswal's 87 helped India consolidate to 310/5 on Day 1 of the second Test at Edgbaston.
Gill, who led from the front, put on a vital unbroken partnership of 99 with Ravindra Jadeja (41*) to arrest a mini-slide in the evening and go to stumps without further damage.
Jaiswal's bright knock laid the platform in the morning session, while Gill remained cautious and took on the English attack when necessary. The duo's partnership of 99 helped India recover from a mini-collapse in the final session.
Key moments
- Jaiswal and Nair's partnership of 80 helped India recover from KL Rahul's early dismissal.
- Gill completed his century with a four off Joe Root, and celebrated with a loud roar.
- Jadeja's 41* helped India take the score past 300, and he also survived a close LBW call.
