England opener Zak Crawley said he loved his role in the time-wasting row during the Lord’s Test, also involving Indian captain Shubman Gill. Crawley played that one over off Jasprit Bumrah late on day three that made headlines. Meanwhile, following his attacking 84 in the first innings in Manchester, Crawley admitted enjoying riling up India during ‘that passage of play’ in the previous Test, which saw Gill lose his cool and attack the English opener with, 'grow some f***ing balls' remarks during the verbal altercation. The pair also pointed fingers at each other during the heated exchange.&nbsp;"I've always enjoyed that part of cricket, to be honest, especially when you're batting," Crawley said after the second day’s play at Old Trafford.&nbsp;"There's two of you against eleven, and they're desperate to get you out, and they're chirping you.&nbsp;"Most of the time, I'd probably let it slide, and then other times, I feel like it's a good chance to put it back on them.

IND vs ENG: Shubman Gill set to eclipse THIS 54-year-old Sunil Gavaskar record in Manchester

India Test skipper Shubman Gill has ended the suspense over wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant's status for the fourth Test against England in Manchester which starts July 23. The Indian skipper also hinted at handing a debut to uncapped pacer Anshul Kamboj in wake of multiple injuries in the squad. Gill made the comments during the pre-match press conference on the eve of the Test - a must win for India to a their first Test series victory in England since 2007.

From Virat Kohli to Shubman Gill: 5 Indian batters with most runs in away Tests (since 2020)

Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar says that newly-appointed Test skipper Shubman Gill's dismissal in second innings of the Lord's Test had something to do with scuffle he had with England batter Zak Crawley in last over of the day 3. Gill exchanged words with Crawley after England batter pulled out of batting stance against Bumrah twice and asked for glove change in the same over as well. Gill's reaction took everyone by surprise as he had never been known to be this aggressive before becoming the captain.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-rishabh-pant-out-of-4th-test-india-assistant-coach-says-he-will-bat-in-manchester-1752774217095">IND vs ENG: 'Don't think...,' India coach on Pant injury ahead of 4th Test</a>"Going through Shubman Gill's defence has been hard work. He has hardly missed a ball. The control percentage has been brilliant. And suddenly, in about nine deliveries [in the second innings], he's missed four. I have no doubt that there is a connection there," Manjrekar said via ESPNCricinfo."And just to extend on that point, if Shubman Gill had that kind of a fiery side to him, we would have seen it a little earlier. You don't have to show it when you're captain. Or did he show it because he's got this confidence now that he's won a Test match and he's got so many runs? Because with Virat Kohli, you could see that he was ready for a scrap. He was always waiting to get in the thick of things. Even when he wasn't a captain, you could see him coming in there. So that was a trait that we'd seen even before he was captain. With Shubman Gill, I've never seen it before," he added.India went on to lose the Test by 22 runs after failing to chase down a modest 194. Gill, who had scored 585 runs in the first two Tests including three tons, failed to score even a fifty in the match. India now trail the five-match series 1-2 with fourth Test set to be played from July 23 in Manchester.

Gill's reaction took everyone by surprise as he had never been known to be this aggressive before becoming the captain.

The control percentage has been brilliant. And suddenly, in about nine deliveries [in the second innings], he's missed four. I have no doubt that there is a connection there," Manjrekar said via ESPNCricinfo. "And just to extend on that point, if Shubman Gill had that kind of a fiery side to him, we would have seen it a little earlier. You don't have to show it when you're captain. Or did he show it because he's got this confidence now that he's won a Test match and he's got so many runs? Because with Virat Kohli, you could see that he was ready for a scrap. He was always waiting to get in the thick of things. Even when he wasn't a captain, you could see him coming in there. So that was a trait that we'd seen even before he was captain. With Shubman Gill, I've never seen it before," he added. India went on to lose the Test by 22 runs after failing to chase down a modest 194. Gill, who had scored 585 runs in the first two Tests including three tons, failed to score even a fifty in the match. India now trail the five-match series 1-2 with fourth Test set to be played from July 23 in Manchester.

Meet 5 captains with the most runs in a Test series – Shubman Gill knocks on the door

Shortly after India narrowly lost the Lord’s Test by 22 runs, captain Shubman Gill dropped an update on Rishabh Pant’s availability for the next Test at Old Trafford in Manchester, starting Wednesday (Jul 23). Pant suffered an injury to his index finger while keeping during England’s first innings, sitting out for the rest of the game while fielding as India roped in Dhruv Jurel as his replacement. Pant, however, batted in both innings with an injured hand. With England using the advantage of it, bowling mid-leg line throughout the second inning, Indian fans wonder if Pant will be deemed fit in time for the fourth Test.&nbsp;During the post-match presser, Gill revealed that Pant 'should be fine' in time for the fourth Test against England after scans revealed ‘no major injury’ to the index finger of his left hand, per the latest reports. &nbsp;Meanwhile, during the 34th over of England’s first innings, Pant dived to his left to save a ball from going to the boundary, only for that to hit the index finger of his left hand and injure it.

IND vs ENG: Will Rishabh Pant play in Manchester? Captain Gill drops major update after Lord’s beating

Indian captain Shubman Gill failed to score big on his third successive Test outing in the UK, getting out cheaply across both innings in the third match at the Lord's. While there was not much to read in his first-inning dismissal, where he nicked one behind off Chris Woakes, his second-inning one urged the commentators and analysts to look deep into his game. One such broadcaster, Sanjay Manjrekar, shared some insights on the same; he urged Gill to seek clarity on navigating his temperament better. He cited examples of two former Indian captains who navigated this in their way and succeeded.&nbsp;Chasing 192 in the second innings, Gill walked out to bat after Karun Nair’s dismissal late on day four. Unlike how he batted in the previous two Tests, he looked out of place late, with England fielders making it worse for him by sledging him. Under pressure to deliver for his team in this crunch situation, Gill failed to replicate his past performances. The English quicks made most of this situation, attacking Gill and finally getting the better of him, with Brydon Carse dismissing him, trapped in front of the wickets.&nbsp;

<h3>Crazy game at Lord’s</h3>After India dismissed England on 387 in the first innings, they put up a similar score on the board in reply, making it the 17th instance in Test history when two teams got out on similar scores in a Test match. With that, this match turned into a One-Dayer, with England hitting 191 in their second innings, setting an under-par yet challenging target (192) for India. &nbsp;Team India lost four wickets overnight, including their captain Gill, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and new number three Karun Nair. Early on day five, England accounted for Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Washington Sundar, putting India’s back against the wall.

Shubman Gill is leading the Indian Test side for the first time and he's enjoying the responsibility with the form of his life. The Indian skipper has already scored 607 runs in three Tests of the series - the most by an Indian batter in England. The previous best of 602 was by Rahul Dravid in four Tests back in 2002 when India drew the series 1-1.

Indian captain Shubman Gill was ready to go to war with Zak Crawley after the English opener wasted time late on day three of the Lord’s Test. Things got heated up in the last over of England’s second innings, with Crawley doing everything he could to waste time and ensure India doesn’t get another over before stumps.&nbsp;&nbsp;After he abruptly stopped Bumrah in his follow-through (on his third delivery), pointing fingers at the side screen, Gill and those standing in the slips rushed towards Crawley, giving him an earful. It got worse when Zak acted like he had injured his finger on the penultimate ball, irking Gill, who mocked him and showed indecent gestures.

The Test series between India and England is currently poised at 1-1, with both teams heading to Lord's for the third Test. The stakes will be higher at the Home of Cricket as the team that wins this Test will take a crucial lead in the five-match series. England had an epic victory in the first Test, chasing down 371 runs on the final day at Leeds, securing the win by five wickets. India, however, bounced back strongly in the second Test, recording a commanding 336-run victory, their largest ever in terms of runs.<h2>Joe Root - A concern for India</h2>Now, as the focus shifts to the Home of Cricket there’s one key stat that Indian pacers should keep an eye on. Former English captain, Joe Root has been phenomenal at Lord’s, scoring 2022 runs in 22 matches, the most by any batter at the venue. He averages around 54.64 and has scored seven centuries, the most by any batter at this iconic ground. Out of these seven centuries, five have been in matches that England went on to win. The pattern is clear: when Root scores a century, England often win. Interestingly, Root has scored an unbeaten century three times, but only once was it in a losing cause against India in 2021.

India vs England Lord’s Test - Joe Root’s record and Shubman Gill’s milestone quest

Shubman Gill is enjoying the form of his life as the Indian skipper leads from the front in the ongoing five-match Test series against England. Appointed India captain in the red-ball format in May, Gill had plenty of responsibilities on his shoulders heading into the series with few expecting him to buckle down under pressure. Instead, he has been a knife to butter when and enjoyed the batting spree in the Test series. This has led to conversations of him scoring 1000 runs in the Test series as his form does look like slowing.<h2>Will Gill reach the 1000-run mark Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy?</h2>The article is being written on the final day of the Edgbaston Test where Gill at the time of writing has three hundreds including a double ton in the series. He has scored 585 runs in four innings with a maximum of six innings remaining in the series for Gill.

Appointed India captain in the red-ball format in May, Shubman Gill had plenty of responsibilities on his shoulders heading into the series with few expecting him to buckle down under pressure. Instead, he has been a knife to butter when and enjoyed the batting spree in the Test series.

Shubman Gill is enjoying the form of his life as the Indian skipper leads from the front in the ongoing five-match Test series against England. Appointed India captain in the red-ball format in May, Gill had plenty of responsibilities on his shoulders heading into the series with few expecting him to buckle down under pressure. Instead, he has been a knife to butter when and enjoyed the batting spree in the Test series. This has led to conversations of him scoring 1000 runs in the Test series as his form does look like slowing. Will Gill reach the 1000-run mark Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy? The article is being written on the final day of the Edgbaston Test where Gill at the time of writing has three hundreds including a double ton in the series. He has scored 585 runs in four innings with a maximum of six innings remaining in the series for Gill. This means he needs 415 runs in the three remaining matches of the series. However, considering he has already scored 430 runs in the Edgbaston Test, the 415-run target remains well within his sight. If he is able to score 415 runs, then he will become the first batter in the 148-year history of Test cricket to complete 1000 runs in a series.

Is Shubman Gill ready to break the 1000-run mark in a Test series? Here's what the number suggest

Yograj Singh, former Indian cricketer and Yuvraj Singh’s father, has slammed newly-appointed India Test captain Shubman Gill for missing out on his maiden Test triple hundred. Against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham, Gill scored his career-best 269 in the first innings, and followed it up with a brilliant 161 in the second.

Hitting three sixes and 30 boundaries came with a lot of discipline, caution and flair, as Gill tormented the English bowlers.&nbsp; &nbsp;Yograj, known for speaking his heart out, lashed out at Gill for losing his concentration at the cusp of creating history. Had he completed the remaining 31 runs, he would have become the third Indian after Virender Sehwag (who did it twice) and Karun Nair to hit a Test triple hundred. &nbsp;"A player’s hunger should never die. Just saying ‘I’ve scored 200’ or ‘I’ve made 250’ — okay, well played, fine. But I never say ‘well played’. That’s your job, brother — but why did you get out?"

There is no stopping Shubman Gill. The newly-appointed Indian Test captain is on a run-scoring spree in the UK, completing his third Test hundred on English soil in only his second Test of this five-match series. After rocking scoreboards and records with a hundred in Leeds and a career-best 269 in the first innings at Edgbaston, Gill notched up another hundred in the second innings in this Test, becoming only the second Indian batter in 54 years to unlock this feat, and ninth overall. He stays unbeaten at the crease at tea on day four, with Team India leading by 484.&nbsp;While he is the fourth batter since the start of this millennium to score a double hundred and a hundred in the same Test, he is among the only two active cricketers, alongside Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne, who scored 204 and 104* against West Indies in Perth in 2022, to do so.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/indias-white-ball-tour-of-bangladesh-postponed-bcci-announces-new-date-september-2026-1751724921364">India’s white-ball tour of Bangladesh postponed, BCCI announces new dates</a> &nbsp;Carrying his purple patch into the Test series, Gill has looked in ominous touch thus far.

While Gavaskar achieved this feat in the reverse order, scoring 124 in the first innings and 220 in the second against West Indies in the 1971 Test, Gill scored a marathon 269 in the first and crossed the triple-digit mark in the second innings. &nbsp;Gill has already surpassed 540 runs in four innings in this series.<h3>India unlikely to lose at Edgbaston &nbsp;</h3>After conceding a brilliant chance to take a lead in this series in Leeds, Team India is ensuring they are not leaving any stone unturned in its efforts to disallow England to complete a run chase.&nbsp; &nbsp;Rishabh Pant, who is also among the runs in this series, having hit twin tons thus far, also contributed to India’s second innings success in Birmingham.

India captain Shubman Gill scored a superb maiden Test double-century before stand-in fast bowler Akash Deep reduced England to 13-2 at Edgbaston on Thursday with two wickets in consecutive balls. Gill's 269 was the cornerstone of India's first-innings 587 all out on the second day of the second Test, with England 77-3 at stumps -- a huge deficit of 510 runs. Deep was only featuring after India rested the outstanding Jasprit Bumrah, the world's top-ranked Test bowler but only due to play in three games of this five-match series to minimise the effects of a back injury.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/shubman-gill-joins-sehwag-and-dravid-in-list-of-250-score-by-indian-batters-in-away-tests-along-with-1751558781803">Shubman Gill joins Sehwag and Dravid in list of 250+ score by Indian batters in away Tests</a>The 28-year-old Deep conceded 12 runs in his first over, with Zak Crawley hitting two fours. But Deep's second over was a very different story, the paceman's double-wicket maiden leaving England in dire straits at 13-2.He had Ben Duckett, fresh from a superb 149 in England's five-wicket win in the first Test at Headingley, edging to third slip where Gill capped an already brilliant day for himself by holding a fine catch.Next ball Ollie Pope fell for a golden duck when, closing the face of the bat, he nicked Deep to second slip, with KL Rahul clinging on at the second attempt. Joe Root survived the hat-trick delivery.But India, made to pay for dropping several catches in the cordon at Headingley, then held another when Mohammed Siraj had Crawley edging to Karun Nair at first slip, with England now 25-3.Root (18 not out) and Yorkshire team-mate Harry Brook (30 not out) prevented further collapse with an unbroken fourth-wicket stand of 52. &nbsp;But the day belonged to India, bidding for just their fourth series win in England after triumphs in 1971, 1986 and 2007.<h2>Majestic Gill</h2>Earlier, the 25-year-old Gill, in just his second Test as captain, set a new record for the highest score by an India batsman in a Test in England, surpassing the great Sunil Gavaskar's 221 at the Oval back in 1979.Gill also received excellent support from spin-bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja (89) and Washington Sundar in partnerships of 203 and 144 for the sixth and seventh wickets, respectively. Already a Test-best 168 not out at lunch, Gill continued to bat in near flawless fashion in the afternoon.He was especially severe on Shoaib Bashir, cover-driving the off-spinner for four and lofting him for six, with the bowler largely unthreatening against frontline batsmen in a return of 3-167 in 45 overs.A hooked single off fast bowler Josh Tongue, whose two wickets cost 119 runs, took Gill to 200, with the elated skipper bowing to a capacity crowd in celebration.England brought on part-time medium-pacer Brook in a desperate bid to 'buy' a wicket but Gill struck him for three successive fours -- the best a straight drive.

The 28-year-old Deep conceded 12 runs in his first over, with Zak Crawley hitting two fours. But Deep's second over was a very different story, the paceman's double-wicket maiden leaving England in dire straits at 13-2.

India captain Shubman Gill scored a superb maiden Test double-century before stand-in fast bowler Akash Deep reduced England to 13-2 at Edgbaston on Thursday with two wickets in consecutive balls. Gill's 269 was the cornerstone of India's first-innings 587 all out on the second day of the second Test, with England 77-3 at stumps -- a huge deficit of 510 runs. Deep was only featuring after India rested the outstanding Jasprit Bumrah, the world's top-ranked Test bowler but only due to play in three games of this five-match series to minimise the effects of a back injury.

But Deep's second over was a very different story, the paceman's double-wicket maiden leaving England in dire straits at 13-2. He had Ben Duckett, fresh from a superb 149 in England's five-wicket win in the first Test at Headingley, edging to third slip where Gill capped an already brilliant day for himself by holding a fine catch. Next ball Ollie Pope fell for a golden duck when, closing the face of the bat, he nicked Deep to second slip, with KL Rahul clinging on at the second attempt. Joe Root survived the hat-trick delivery. But India, made to pay for dropping several catches in the cordon at Headingley, then held another when Mohammed Siraj had Crawley edging to Karun Nair at first slip, with England now 25-3. Root (18 not out) and Yorkshire team-mate Harry Brook (30 not out) prevented further collapse with an unbroken fourth-wicket stand of 52. But the day belonged to India, bidding for just their fourth series win in England after triumphs in 1971, 1986 and 2007. Majestic Gill Earlier, the 25-year-old Gill, in just his second Test as captain, set a new record for the highest score by an India batsman in a Test in England, surpassing the great Sunil Gavaskar's 221 at the Oval back in 1979. Gill also received excellent support from spin-bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja (89) and Washington Sundar in partnerships of 203 and 144 for the sixth and seventh wickets, respectively. Already a Test-best 168 not out at lunch, Gill continued to bat in near flawless fashion in the afternoon. He was especially severe on Shoaib Bashir, cover-driving the off-spinner for four and lofting him for six, with the bowler largely unthreatening against frontline batsmen in a return of 3-167 in 45 overs. A hooked single off fast bowler Josh Tongue, whose two wickets cost 119 runs, took Gill to 200, with the elated skipper bowing to a capacity crowd in celebration. England brought on part-time medium-pacer Brook in a desperate bid to 'buy' a wicket but Gill struck him for three successive fours -- the best a straight drive. But it was occasional off-spinner Root, however, who bowled the recalled Sundar with a delivery that turned and bounced. By that stage Gill had bettered his Test-best score for the second match in a row after making 147 at Headingley. His marathon Edgbaston innings of some eight-and-a-half hours finally ended with a rare false shot when a tired pull off Tongue found Pope at square leg, with India now 574-8.
