India backed up Shubman Gill's phenomenal 269 with three cheap England wickets on a dream day of test cricket for the visitors at Edgbaston on Thursday. After Gill's 8 1/2-hour innings led India to 587 all out — its highest score in England in 35 years — pacers Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj found life in a seemingly lifeless pitch to reduce England to 25-3 with three edges into the slips cordon.

Shubman Gill's 269-run innings in the second Test against England at Edgbaston marked the highest score by an Indian captain in Tests.

4 - Gill's 269 was the fourth 250-plus score by a visiting captain in Tests in England, after Bob Simpson's 311 at Old Trafford in 1964 and Graeme Smith's 277 and 259 at Edgbaston and Lord's in 2003.
