India and England shared the honors on Day 1 of the second Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Wednesday, July 2. Sent into bat, Team India put 310 runs on the board in 85 overs. On the other hand, England managed to pick up five wickets.
The visitors go off to a disappointing start as an out of sorts KL Rahul was bowled by Chris Woakes for two off 26 balls. Yashasvi Jaiswal (87) and Karun Nair (31) lifted India with a second-wicket stand of 80. However, just before lunch on Day 1, India lost Nair as Brydon Carse produced a brute of a short ball.
Jaiswal and skipper Shubman Gill (114*) consolidated the innings, adding 66 for the third wicket. While the former missed out on a hundred, the Indian captain brought up his second ton in as many Tests. Gill and Ravindra Jadeja (41*) had added an unbroken 99 by stumps on Day 1.
