England vs India, 2nd Test, India tour of England, 2025 - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Bashir to Siraj, out Stumped!! Bashir can't stop smiling. Siraj finds himself in the middle of the pitch. Carrom ball sliding down leg. Siraj had no idea about it. Ran down the track looking for a big hit and was beaten all ends up. Too easy for Smith behind the stumps. Siraj st Jamie Smith b Bashir 8(23) [4s-1]

Bashir to Siraj, FOUR, and there he goes! Sees a floaty delivery and jumps out of his crease in a jiffy, got too close to the pitch of the delivery but got enough contact to drill it past back the bowler. Off the mark with a boundary...

Bashir to Akash Deep, out Caught by Duckett!! One brings two. Akash Deep tries to smoke Bashir for a maximum. It was a juicy toss up outside off and was there for the taking. Akash Deep kneels down and slogs it off the toe end of the bat. Duckett, lurking in at wide long-on, ambles across and completes the catch with ease. Akash Deep c Duckett b Bashir 6(13) [4s-1]

Tongue to Gill, out Caught by Pope!! Oh dear! A tired shot from Shubman Gill and he isn't happy with himself. Drags himself off the field, but to a great round of applause from all corners of the ground. Akash Deep is the first one to walk up to him for a handshake. A few other English players follow suit. It was once again short from Tongue, Gill went for the pull but ended up dragging it off the inside half straight to Pope at square leg. It's an innings that he will remember for a long, long time. Came in at 95/2 in the first session yesterday and he's put up a clinic here in Edgbaston. Respected the conditions early on, took calculated risks, put his head down and built partnerships, and then unleashed his eye-catching strokeplay with incredible composure. This is a knock for the ages from the Indian skipper. Gill c Pope b Tongue 269(387) [4s-30 6s-3]

Tongue to Akash Deep, FOUR, straying down the leg-side, Akash Deep picks it off his hip and helps it away with a flick to the left of the man at fine leg

Root to Gill, FOUR, floaty and tossed up full outside off, Gill gets forward and drives through cover, into the gap and four more, wide of mid-off to his left

Root to Washington Sundar, out Bowled!! Roooooooooooottttttttttt is the chant from the crowd as he bowls Washington Sundar. Sundar is perplexed as he plays down the wrong line. Pushed through quicker on a good length, with the angle Root bowled that, Sundar was expecting it to slide on to the bat, but it just straightened and maybe even turned a hint, the middle-stump is found and Root punches the air in delight. Finally a wicket for England in this session. Washington Sundar b Root 42(103) [4s-3 6s-1]

Root to Washington Sundar, FOUR, bad delivery and Washington Sundar puts it away. Slower and well down leg, Washington Sundar goes on the back foot and pulls, beats backward square-leg to his right, runs away

Brook to Gill, FOUR, 250 for Gill. Again some bat-raising. On a good length outside off, Gill uses the width and opens the face of the bat to glide, Brook is down on his haunches, he felt that was a close call. But Gill opened the face and was in control. No slip and he knew what he was doing

Brook to Gill, FOUR, as easy as it gets. A floaty half-volley outside off, Gill leans forward and times the drive through cover-point and it races away

Bashir to Gill, SIX, Gill has had enough of blocking. He comes down the track and lofts this with the turn, over wide mid-on and it flies all the way. That's a shot Gill plays with regularity in white-ball cricket

Bashir to Gill, 3 runs, 100-run stand. It's a flat good length delivery outside off, Gill cuts late and Woakes running back from backward point, does well, diving and pulling it back, to save a run. The batters nearly collide while taking the third run but thankfully that did not happen

Brydon Carse to Gill, byes, FOUR, England being run ragged here. It's a slower-ball down leg, bounces in front of Jamie Smith and he can't stop it. Gill let that go and it's four byes

Brydon Carse to Gill, FOUR, no-one on the off-side fence at sweeper cover and Gill takes toll. He backs away outside the leg-stump, it's short there, cuts wide of backward point and it runs away

Brook to Gill, FOUR, and even better. Full on middle, Gill gets forward and creams it with a full-face, it misses the stumps at the other end and screams away straight down the ground. Friendly bowling and Gill is in no mood to give up on these gifts. A shot laced with timing, poise and balance

Brook to Gill, FOUR, full outside off, Gill gets forward and shows the full face of the bat to drive it straight down the ground, beats mid-off to his right and that's timed so well. These are easy runs

Brook to Gill, FOUR, width outside off, good length and Gill reaches for it to cut and gets it well wide of deep backward point, again the quick outfield does its job

Bashir to Gill, FOUR, and so much width outside off, good length and well outside off, Gill opens the face of the bat and glides it down to third man, races away. There's no-one out there and it runs away for consecutive fours

Bashir to Gill, FOUR, full and around off, no backward point or deep backward point, Gill gets low and reverse-sweeps well, finds the fence, this is superb manipulation of the field

Tongue to Gill, 1 run, maiden 200 for Gill. Only the third Indian to do it in England. Short down leg, Gill helps the pull to fine-leg. His celebrations are measured this time - he punches the air, removes the helmet, goes down on one knee and gives a fist-pump, a big smile develops on his face. Then comes the tradermark bow. He then raises the bat and closes his eyes to soak the moment in. A few prayers said I think. The Indian contingent are up and clapping. He has led by example here and he has taken to captaincy like a duck to water. A special moment for Gill

Tongue to Washington Sundar, SIX, no messing around. It's short and down leg, Washington Sundar swivels and pulls way over fine-leg, was a bad delivery and Sundar did not have any second thoughts. Played a few shots like this during the famous Gabba win in 2021

Tongue to Washington Sundar, FOUR, awkwardly done but in the gap and four. Stokes has his hands on his head. It's short and down leg, flapped and it's just wide of Root at leg-gully, beats the diving Bashir at fine-leg

Bashir to Washington Sundar, FOUR, down leg, flat and good length, Washington Sundar goes on the back foot and tucks it wide of short fine and it just races away

Tongue to Gill, FOUR, a collision between Root and Crawley but no damage done. They are smiling in fact. It's short of length and sliding into the middle and leg stumps, Gill tucks nicely and splits the two, one was at deep backward square-leg and the other at deep square-leg, both dove and the ball split them both. A small collision as they went for the ball, but thankfully nothing serious

Tongue to Gill, FOUR, half-volley outside off, and Gill brings out another fine drive. This is full outside off, Gill leans forward and drives sweetly and to the left of mid-off

Bashir to Gill, SIX, lands flush on the cushions. It's six. It's tossed up outside off, Gill comes down the track and even though he is not to the pitch of the ball, he still goes through with the loft, lands flush on the cushions. Mid-off was in and Gill took the chance

Bashir to Gill, FOUR, what timing. Granted it was a half-volley outside off, Gill gets forward and eases that, just a push and it splits cover and mid-off, runs away between the two. Gill is right to the pitch of the ball there

Tongue to Jadeja, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! Rip-roaring bumper from Tongue and the superb partnership is finally broken! Absolute brute of a delivery. Round the wicket, dug in short and beats Jadeja for pace and bounce as he looks to fend it off. He's jumping in the crease but it still gets big on him and balloons off the glove to the keeper. It needed something special to lift England and Tongue has produced it. Jadeja c Jamie Smith b Tongue 89(137) [4s-10 6s-1]

Bashir to Gill, SIX, absolutely nails the sweep shot into the crowd and Gill is all smiles as the two batters get together! 200-run stand also comes up with that shot. Bashir switches to round the wicket, tosses it up around middle, Gill gets low and whacks it behind square

Bashir to Jadeja, SIX, smacked down the ground! Uses his feet, gets right to the pitch of the ball that's drifting in around middle, and launches it over mid-on

Tongue to Jadeja, FOUR, lovely on-drive past the non-striker! It's fuller than a good length on off, not quite a half-volley, and Jadeja meets it with the full face before punching it crisply - his weight going into the shot. Silly mid-on is a mere spectator

Bashir to Gill, FOUR, woah that's new from Gill! Tossed up on middle, he brings out the reverse-sweep and sends it through the vacant backward point region

Bashir to Gill, 1 run, first time Gill brings up 150 in Tests! 90kph, overpitched on off, Gill drives past the non-striker for a single. Bashir gets a hand diving across but isn't able to cut it off. He raises his bat in celebration!

Brydon Carse to Gill, FOUR, highest Test score for Gill! Back of a length just outside off, not the ball his captain expects given the field that is set, and Gill punches merrily off the back foot through point

Brydon Carse to Jadeja, FOUR, short of length at the body, around chest height, Jadeja swivels across, opens the hip, gets on top of it and nails the pull behind square. Has found the gap to perfection!

Bashir to Jadeja, 1 run, full on leg stump, Jadeja brings up the 150-run stand with a flick to square leg

Brydon Carse to Gill, FOUR, poor from Carse. He overcooks the full ball and bowls it well wide of off, Gill bends his back knee and opens the bat face to slice the drive square on the off-side. No chance for Duckett fielding in the deep...

Brydon Carse to Gill, FOUR, that has been timed sweetly from Shubman Gill. Brydon Carse geos full and straight, Gill short-arm jabs the flick past the diving right hand of mid-on. Played it all along the ground and got the desired result as well...

Bashir to Gill, 1 run, juicy toss up outside off, Gill eases the drive to long-on and brings up 350 for India

Woakes to Gill, FOUR, shot of the day so far and it is the Indian skipper. 127ks cross-seam overpitched outside off, Gill leans into the drive and times it wonderfully in the gap between cover and short extra cover

Stokes to Jadeja, FOUR, 136ks short and well wide of off stump, Jadeja jumps on it with a cut that flies past the diving left hand of backward point

Stokes to Jadeja, FOUR, wobble seam back of a length delivery outside off, Jadeja hops and punches sweetly in the gap through cover

Woakes to Jadeja, 1 run, 131ks on the pads and it is an easy clip away to deep square for Ravindra Jadeja who brings up his 23rd fifty in Test cricket. His 7th against England as he brings out his sword swinging celebration...

Woakes to Gill, no ball, FOUR, edged and through! Oh dear. It is a front foot no ball as well. Hands on hips for Chris Woakes. A cheeky smile to follow that pose as well. 126ks skiddy length delivery in the fifth stump channel, Gill looked to defend and the outside edge flew in the gap between gully and second slip

Woakes to Jadeja, FOUR, that is a gentle loosener from Woakes and Jadeja takes full toll of it. 127ks slanted into the pads from a length, Jadeja clips neatly and beats the man at mid-wicket to his left

Stokes to Gill, 1 run, 134ks length ball angled in around middle and leg, Gill drops it on the leg-side and collects a single to bring up the 100-run stand between the duo

Brydon Carse to Gill, FOUR, Stokes shakes his head. This is full and outside off, shapes away, Gill throws the bat and the thick outside-edge easily clears gully, deliberately went after it hard

Woakes to Jadeja, FOUR, into the gap and four. A rising back of a length delivery outside off, Jadeja hangs his bat and it's a thick outside-edge, but wide of the 2nd slip and gully. Right into the gap between the two fielders. Went at a comfortable height too, Jadeja gets lucky

Root to Gill, FOUR, hundred for Gill. He shrieks in delight. Two Tests | Two tons in this series. He loves the moment as he roars and then waves the helmet in the air, mouths a loud come on, takes a bow and then kisses his bat. This is full outside the leg-stump, there's a backward square-leg but this is a hard sweep and well wide of that man. Root was given the over to get England to the 2nd new-ball and that has allowed Gill to get to his 100. His 7th in Tests, he has started off his captaincy career in style

Root to Gill, FOUR, almost a free-hit that, full outside the leg-stump, swept to the fine-leg fence, there's no-one there and it races away

Tongue to Gill, FOUR, width and four. A good length delivery outside off, Gill cuts late and there's no gully, also no third man and it runs away for four

Bashir to Jadeja, FOUR, slower and wider outside off, tossed up and Jadeja accepts the invite, he gets forward and lofts over cover, into the gap for four

Tongue to Jadeja, FOUR, beautiful back foot punch. A short of length delivery outside off, Jadeja goes on the back foot and punches it through vacant cover, races away

Bashir to Jadeja, FOUR, nicely tossed up and Jadeja sees that and comes down the track to loft straight down the ground, was bowled at just 76kph, Jadeja's eyes lit up

Stokes to Gill, 1 run, short on the stumps, Gill pulls it down to fine-leg

Brydon Carse to Gill, FOUR, full and wide, Gill reaches out and drives crisply through point. That was nowhere close to a half-volley but he still manages to crack it off the middle. Knows the ball isn't doing all that much right now

Stokes to Jadeja, FOUR, diving effort from Bashir but in vain! Back of a length outside off, Jadeja hangs back, opens the face slightly and punches it away behind backward point. Bashir is at deep backward point and he's beaten to his right

Stokes to Gill, FOUR, total control from Gill! Dug in short, gets up to shoulder height, Gill manages to get on top of the bounce and pulls it firmly through square leg. Fielder in the deep has no chance as he's well behind square

Brydon Carse to Gill, FOUR, proper half-volley outside off and Gill isn't going to miss out. He gets forward, times it well and crunches it through extra cover

Woakes to Nitish Reddy, out Bowled!! The off stump is knocked back as Reddy offers no shot! It came back in a fair amount off the seam. Good length ball that pitches outside off, Reddy doesn't think there's much of a threat to his stumps but the movement takes him by surprise and there's nothing he can do having raised his arms to leave. Two wickets in quick succession for England and the picture of the day looks very different now. Nitish Reddy b Woakes 1(6)

Bashir to Pant, out Caught by Crawley!! Teasing flight at 74kph from Bashir, Pant can't resist, goes for the big shot and he holes out in the deep. Gill looks away in disappointment as India lose their fourth. The partnership seemed to have everything in control and this has come against the run of play. It's tossed up, lands quite full and Pant fails to get under it properly. Goes flat and hard to Crawley at long-on and he pouches it safely moving to his right. Pant c Crawley b Bashir 25(42) [4s-1 6s-1]

Bashir to Pant, FOUR, the falling pull shot from Pant! It's not all that short but he collapses his back knee, falls to the floor and pulls it over short fine

Bashir to Gill, FOUR, brings up his fifty in style! A hundred in his first Test as captain, and he follows it up with a fifty here. Uses his feet nicely to this flighted delivery, gets right to the pitch and hammers it over mid-on. It bounces just short of the ropes!

Woakes to Gill, FOUR, full on the pads, Gill turns it into a half-volley by stepping out of the crease and he flicks it in style through the midwicket region

Bashir to Pant, SIX, it's tossed up full and Pant comes down the track to take it on the half-volley, mid-on is in and he takes the chance, clean strike and it flies over long-on

Stokes to Jaiswal, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! A bottom-edge and Jaiswal can't believe it. He stands there in disbelief. Before walking off. It's Stokes who has done it again. He is so pumped. Look at his reactions. He is roaring and going towards his team-mates in celebration. Not a wicket-taking delivery but Stokes will take it. It's short and wide outside off, Jaiswal cuts and has bottom-edged it behind. Clear nick and that was there for the cut, and perhaps to be sent to the fence. Jaiswal fails to get his well-deserved hundred. He played and missed a lot of cuts in the series, and finally he has edged one. Timely wicket for England. Jaiswal c Jamie Smith b Stokes 87(107) [4s-13]

Bashir to Gill, FOUR, nice shot. It's tossed up full outside off, Gill comes down the track and launches the loft over mid-off, cleanly hit and even though the fielder was quite deep, he had no chance

Bashir to Jaiswal, 1 run, tossed up full on leg-stump, Jaiswal gets forward to drive to mid-on

Tongue to Jaiswal, FOUR, width on offer and Jaiswal isn't gonna let that go scot-free. Opens the bat face late and steers it away past the slip cordon with neat timing

Brydon Carse to Gill, no run, big inswinger and this nips back in to off and middle, Gill gets forward and pushes at it, the thick inside-edge saves Gill. Carse was very confident and he pushed Stokes for the review. England lose it. If not for any bat - that was plumb

Woakes to Gill, FOUR, full outside off, Gill gets forward to defend, this thickish outside-edge runs down and wide of 2nd slip. It goes away for four, the second boundary of the over

Woakes to Gill, FOUR, no gully and it's at a catchable height too. A length delivery outside off, Gill opens the face of the bat and gives catching practice, just that there's no-one to catch

Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, nicely done. It's very full outside off, Jaiswal opens the face of the bat and squeezes it with an open-face, wide of the 2nd slip and it runs away, was in control and it runs away. Third man was there but he is too fine and it went well to his left

Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, 2 runs, full outside off, Jaiswal gets forward and drives, loses his bottom-hand, wide of cover and even though he wasn't in control, it's an easy two as it's in the gap

Brydon Carse to Karun Nair, out Caught by Brook!! What a rip-roaring short ball and Karun Nair can only fend it to 2nd slip. This is at him and he can't get out of the way, he just looks to put his bat up in front of his face as a shield to protect himself. The ball takes the splice even as Nair takes the bottom-hand off, doesn't soften the impact and it's a dolly to Brook who accepts gleefully. That's the wicket England were looking for just before lunch. Brydon Carse is known to put in the effort and come up with such deliveries. This is a fine delivery. Karun Nair c Brook b Brydon Carse 31(50) [4s-5]

Tongue to Jaiswal, FOUR, short of length outside off, angling away from the left-hander, Jaiswal slashes and it's off the toe-end, the third man is fine but the ball runs so fast and wide of him, to his left. That's a hat-trick of boundaries, too much width from Tongue

Tongue to Jaiswal, FOUR, 50 for Jaiswal. He raises the bat and acknowledges the applause. It's short and wide outside off, Jaiswal is on his tiptoes as he slashes it over backward point and the ball flies off the bat, consecutive fours

Tongue to Jaiswal, FOUR, short at Jaiswal, he takes it on and pulls behind square, there was a deep backward square-leg in place, but it was well wide to his right, runs away to the fence

Stokes to Jaiswal, FOUR, Jaiswal was expecting something short and it was a short ball indeed. He plays a half-hearted cut and gets enough contact to beat the chasing backward point fielder to his right

Stokes to Jaiswal, FOUR, been a few of these from England. Half-volley at the stumps, punished once again, this time by Jaiswal as he drives firmly through mid-on

Tongue to Jaiswal, FOUR, smart from Jaiswal. Saw there was width on this 145ks length delivery and opened the bat face really late to guide it in the gap between slip cordon and gully

Tongue to Jaiswal, FOUR, 145ks overpitched outside off, Jaiswal isn't gonna miss out on that either. Shows full face of the bat and creams the drive straight down the ground. Holds the pose for the cameras as well...

Tongue to Jaiswal, FOUR, goes wide of the crease and offers plenty of width on this 141ks full delivery, Jaiswal says thank you and smacks the drive on the up in the gap through covers. The Indian fans are loving it in the stands...

Stokes to Karun Nair, FOUR, Nair is looking in splendid touch. 135ks fuller and angled into the pads, Nair times the flick and places it in the gap between mid-on and mid-wicket. Take four!

Woakes to Karun Nair, FOUR, looks like Nair's lucky day. Third half-volley he has received in this little innings. And he doesn't miss out this time either, leaning into it and driving through the covers

Tongue to Karun Nair, FOUR, again full, not quite a half-volley, but Nair unleashes another glorious cover drive. He doesn't go too hard, just focusses on timing and caresses it through the gap

Tongue to Karun Nair, FOUR, second half-volley for Nair and he couldn't be more grateful! The line is outside off, he leans into the drive and cracks it away through the covers

Woakes to Karun Nair, no run, England review for LBW! Again Nair is hit on the pad as he offers no shot and this time Woakes is convinced. The umpire says no but Stokes goes for the review. Good length ball that pitches outside off, nips back in and hits the back pad as Nair raises his arms. Impact is outside off but that doesn't matter as he's offering no shot. But Nair survives as ball-tracking shows it's only clipping the off stump. Woakes isn't happy at all. Seems to be fuming as he walks back to his mark

Woakes to Karun Nair, FOUR, Nair pounces on the half-volley! Pitched right up on off, he gets forward and drives sweetly through the mid-off region. The fielder there is quite wide

Woakes to Rahul, out Bowled!! Woakes has deserved this! Probing away in good areas, testing Rahul on both edges and now he ends up playing one back onto the stumps. Back of a length delivery around off, perhaps rises more than Rahul expects, nips back in a touch as well and he's very tentative while looking to defend. It hits high on the bat and goes back to hit the base of off stump. After a good Test in Leeds, Rahul has fallen early here. Rahul b Woakes 2(26)

Woakes to Jaiswal, no run, England review for LBW! Did that pitch outside leg? Was there an inside edge involved? A couple of questions to consider here. Good length ball that nips in as Jaiswal gets forward to defend. Ball-tracking says it just about pitches in line with leg stump, and there's no inside edge either. But it's only clipping the top of the stumps and will stay with umpire's call

Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, absolutely hammered! Carse bowling both sides of the pitch in this over. Doles out a half-volley outside off, Jaiswal needs no second invitation as he smokes the drive through cover

Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, now this one he allows his top-hand to take control in comparison to the previous one where the bottom hand took over as he went too hard. Much more in control this time, and gets the desired outcome. Fuller than a good length outside off, Jaiswal leans into the shot and punches it away through point

Woakes to Jaiswal, FOUR, loose ball and Jaiswal is away! Back of a length delivery straying down leg, Jaiswal closes the wrists nicely, tickles it away fine and it races away past the keeper
