Britain’s Schubman Gill India is firmly at the top in Edbaston, reacts as Britain stumbles 72/3 on stumps
Day 4 of Edgbaston was an exhibition of Indian domination The Century of Schubman Gill and Rishab pantsAn explosive counterattack buried England under the pressure of the scoreboard. Starting the day with a solid lead, India overcame early blows to pile up on the mountain of running and ultimately declared after setting a nearly impossible 608 run target for England. With momentum completely on their side, India hit the ball early and left England staggering on the stump. Gill engraved his name in a history book with another special knock, but Pants added a flare and the bowler responded intentionally. It was a day when all the sessions leaned even further in courtesy of India.
Shubman Gill rewrites the record, Rishabh Pant Ignites Edgebaston declares it on 427/6
Reopening on 64/1, India both endured a challenging first hour KL was satisfied and Karun Nya I fell to a sharp pace Josh’s tongue and Brydon car. However, when Gill joined the pants, the tone shifted completely. The pants started out with boldness, hitting 4s and 6s in the first overs, and were disappointed with an 8. The pair ran to the stands for 100 runs with just 103 balls, calming the British rhythm. Both reached the 50s style before their pants, attempting another big shot, and died at the age of 65. From there, Gill assumed control. Gentle, clinical, hungry, he has built an important partnership with Rabindra Jadaja And it was engraved in another century The first player to win double 150 and 150 In the same test. His final 161 ended only after he secured a total that was out of reach of England. India declared 427/6, leading to an intimidating 608 runs.
Early nails so that Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj Hammer Ingland collapse under pressure
The British job was Gargantuan and their reaction began with attacks from Ben Duckettstruck a continuous boundary line Mohamed Shiraji. But India has returned quickly, Shiraj has removed Zack Crawley For a duck caught in the back point in front Akash Deep Duckett cast with the perfect nipbacker. With pressure attachment, Joe Root I’ve become too prey. He fell prey to Akash Deep and was beaten by a delivery that came back late and kissed the stump. From 18/0, England fell sluggish on 39/3 as the top order fell apart. nevertheless Ollie Pope and Harry Brook I tried to rebuild it, but I saw the psychological sacrifice chasing the 608. Gill’s field placement was attacked, and Shiraj and Deep remained unrelenting pressure, and the cracks in the famous British buzzball approach began to show. On the stump, the UK struggled at 72/3, but still runs 536, the Indian bowler smells blood and the test slips out of the host’s grasp.

India is currently managing the game. Given England keeps playing shots, they create bowler opportunities. In ideal situations there would have been something for the spinner, but India should fantasize as a second new ball is available later in the day…

Akash Deep is Ben Duckett’s answer.
He did it in India and now he is doing it in England. 🔥

India without Bumra has comprehensively bored England in the first four days – the feeling of the series suddenly very different

The UK will need 537 off of 537 balls to win tomorrow. India will get 20-25 overs for the second new ball and odd minutes of 30 minutes of morning moisture/cloudy condition.

Before the series, the batter had scored 500 runs in this 5-match series, but here Gill already has 500 runs in just four innings.

7 wickets of 536 runs, and we can’t ask for more as a side.
They can hit and rain can fall, you can’t control it.
It’s not easy, tackle old ball plans and go well.
Take a photograph of history.#engvind

Day 5 will be set up perfectly! 🔥
England needs 536 runs to bring out the impossible.
India needs seven wickets to seal the famous victory.
The last day, two paths – the brilliance of Bezbor or the rule of India?
Who will take this? 👀🏏
