CRICKET England experienced another taxing first day against India as Shubman Gill's century built firm foundations for the tourists in the second Rothesay Test at Edgbaston.

India strong thanks to skipper Shubman

Buoyed by his side's fearless fourth-innings chase at Headingley last week, home captatin Ben Stokes did not hesitate to repeat his tactics from that match - winning the toss and sending the opposition in on a good batting pitch.

The initial outcome was better this time - India reaching stumps on 310 for five compared to their seemingly bulletproof score of 359 for three at the same point in Leeds - but Stokes’ opposite number ensured India edged the day.

Gill, who made 147 in the series opener, made it two hundreds in as many games as captain with a hard-working and undefeated 114 from 216 balls.
