Gill scored an imperious 269 on day two at Edgbaston, besting Sunil Gavaskar's claim to the highest ever score by an Indian batter on English soil and Virat Kohli's mark for the biggest knock by an India captain, as his side posted 587.

Captain Shubman Gill is 265 not out at tea as he and Washington Sundar have led India closer to 600 runs against England on day two of the second test in Birmingham.
