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.

<h3>Even-Steven at Lord’s</h3> It’s fair to say that India dominated day three at Lord’s. After KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant helped the team lay a foundation for the lower order to come and make merry in hot London conditions, Ravindra Jadeja and the remaining two all-rounders played for most of the day.&nbsp; &nbsp;Slow yet steady, Team India took the right steps in the winning direction, by first disallowing England from taking the game away and secondly by stretching it late to deny them any chance to score runs on the board. Though the Indian tailenders again failed to live up to any little hope everyone had from them, being able to at least equal England’s first-inning tally keeps them alive in the game. &nbsp;However, the last ten minutes were the show's highlight, with everything happening and everyone getting involved.&nbsp;&nbsp;The remaining two days promise to be a blockbuster. &nbsp;As things stand, England leads India by two runs.

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.

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. For England to win at Lord’s, Root will need to score big again.&nbsp;Also Read |<a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/cricket-ind-vs-eng-all-you-need-to-know-about-india-s-record-at-lord-s-cricket-ground-1751959720728"> IND vs ENG: All you need to know about India's record at Lord's Cricket Ground</a><h2>Lord's - The most successful venue for India</h2>For India, Lord’s has been the most successful venue in England in terms of Test cricket.

Pant's dashing display ended when trying to smash off-spinner Shoaib Bashir; he lost control of his bat, which flew to midwicket while the ball went to deep mid-off -- where Duckett made no mistake with the catch. Pant faced just 58 balls, including eight fours and three sixes. After tea, Gill piled on the runs with a brilliant straight six and two fours off consecutive balls from Chris Woakes, before slog-sweeping part-time off-spinner Root for six to go to 150 in superb style. There was a comical moment next ball when Ollie Pope, with sunglasses on top of his cap rather than over his eyes, lost sight of a chance in the deep. Gill's brilliant display finally ended when he spooned a simple return catch to Bashir, having hit 13 fours and eight sixes in his latest masterclass. There were crowd chants of "Boring, boring India" as the tourists batted on before Gill finally called a halt, with Ravindra Jadeja 69 not out.

IND vs ENG: Shubman Gill’s record-breaking 161 puts India ahead as Edgbaston Test enters day five

Meet nine batters with a double hundred and hundred in single Test: Gill is second Indian. Check others

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. He doesn’t seem to play a false shot, let alone give a chance to any bowler to pick his wicket. Standing at the crease like a rock and making this match and his new batting position (number four) all about himself, Gill broke plenty of records in the first two matches. &nbsp;Even before he completed his hundred, he surpassed batting legend Sunil Gavaskar, whom he joined for batters to score a double hundred and a ton in the same match, for the most runs scored by an Indian batter in a Test match. 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. He timed a few but mistimed more in his 65-run knock, hitting nine fours and four sixes. &nbsp;Meanwhile, Team India’s lead crossed over 500 just after tea on day four.&nbsp;

From Sachin to Azhar - Indian skippers with most Test hundreds outside India - Check List

Newly-appointed India’s Test captain Shubman Gill rewrote records with his second hundred on this English tour, his first at Edgbaston in Birmingham. On day one of the second Test between India and England, Gill completed his seventh Test century to put the visiting team on top. The right-handed batter has got some start to his Test captaincy career. Although India failed to win the series opener under his leadership despite four batters contributing to five hundreds across both innings, his performance with the bat has shown promise. Batting at his new number four position, replacing legendary Virat Kohli, who is now retired, Gill seems to have taken control of it and his game.&nbsp;Gill broke plenty of records with his unbeaten 114, including 13 fours. While he joined former greats like Vijay Hazare and Virat Kohli on the list of Indian captains to score two or more fifty-plus scores batting at number four against England in England, Gill also became the third Indian skipper ever and the first since Mohammad Azharuddin (since 1990) to score hundreds in consecutive Tests in England. &nbsp;Former Indian captain Vijay Hazare was the first to achieve this feat during the 1951-52 Test series, while Azharuddin was the second, doing it during the first two Tests on the 1990 tour.&nbsp; &nbsp;He, however, also joined a list of Indian batters, including Azharuddin, Dilip Vengsarkar and ‘The Wall’ Rahul Dravid to score centuries in three back-to-back Tests against England.<h2>More to Gill’s Edgbaston hundred &nbsp;</h2>There is more to his second hundred on English soil.&nbsp; &nbsp;Gill also joined greats like Virat, Hazare and original little master Sunil Gavaskar on the list of Indian captains to hit hundreds in each of the first two Tests, further becoming only the second Indian captain after Kohli (in 2018) to smash a hundred in Birmingham. &nbsp;However, joining some of the greatest names in cricket history, including Sir Donald Bradman and Sir Gary Sobers, among others, on the list of visiting captains with a hundred in the first two Tests of a series in England is another achievement to Gill's decorated cabinet. Besides that, Gill also became the ninth visiting captain and the second Indian to unlock this feat, which also includes former South Africa captain Graeme Smith. &nbsp;Meanwhile, Yashasvi Jaiswal was also among the runs in the first innings. After completing his maiden Test hundred in England in Leeds, Jaiswal hit a masterful 87 on day one at Edgbaston, with all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja contributing with an unbeaten 41 to see India end the day at 310 for five.&nbsp;

Although India failed to win the series opener under his leadership despite four batters contributing to five hundreds across both innings, his performance with the bat has shown promise.

From Virat Kohli to Smriti Mandhana: 6 Indian players to hit a century in all three formats

Just one match into India’s Test captaincy and Shubman Gill is told to adjust his attitude for the team’s betterment. Gill-led India lost the series opener against England at Headingley in Leeds despite having hit five centuries across two innings in the game – an Indian Test cricket record. Although Jasprit Bumrah was fantastic in the first innings, picking his record-breaking 12th away five-wicket haul in Tests, none of his fellow bowlers were able to make an impact, resulting in India failing to defend 371 on the final day. However, the bigger issue was fielding, with India dropping more than six catches, four of which slipped through Yashasvi Jaiswal’s hands.&nbsp;Brad Haddin, former Australian keeper and Ashes winner, put the onus on Gill to fix it altogether, claiming that for Gill’s India to become a great Test team, they must get better at taking catches because they win matches. Urging Gill to bring that attitude adjustment to his captaincy and, with that, injecting it into his teammates, Haddin said,&nbsp; &nbsp;"Every great team, no matter what year you're playing, the one standout feature they've always had, is that they've been a great fielding team. And I think that is one legacy Gill has start to leave now on this team. He needs an attitude adjustment," Haddin said while speaking on the Willow Talk podcast. &nbsp;"If you want to field well and compete the whole time, it's only attitude. You can do all your technical work off the field and have as many coaches as anyone, but it won't matter. Even in the IPL this year, the catching was horrible. And that could be a byproduct," he continued.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/wi-vs-aus-2nd-test-steve-smith-takes-baby-steps-towards-return-pat-cummins-hints-at-his-inclusion-grenada-barbados-finger-injury-1751101047759">WI vs AUS: Steve Smith takes baby steps towards return as Cummins hints at his inclusion in second Test</a> &nbsp;However, batting prowess overshadowed Team India’s poor fielding in Leeds.

IND vs ENG: England had chased 378 in Edgbaston, venue of 2nd Test, last time they played vs India despite Bumrah's presence

Even after scoring five centuries in the first test at Headingley, Leeds, India became the first team to lose a Test match, as England chased down the target of 371 to beat them by five wickets in the first of the five-test match series. India now has the most individual test hundreds in a losing cause. In the first test, India registered five centuries: Yashashvi Jaiswal 101 (159), Shubman Gill 147 (227), and Rishabh Pant 134 (178) in the first innings, followed by KL Rahul 137 (247) and Rishabh Pant 118 (140) in the second innings. In the past, it has happened only once when a a team lost a Test with four hundred - Australia against England at Melbourne in 1928. Chasing a target of 371, England required 350 runs on the final day of the test match. Only Australia (404) has successfully chased a higher total on the last scheduled day of a test match, against England on the last day of the 1948 Headingley Test. The 835 runs that India made in the Headingley Test is the fourth highest for any team to end up on the losing side. England and India scored 1673 runs in the first test, the highest for any Test match between the two sides. The previous highest was 1614 runs at Manchester in 1990, which ended in a draw. Coming to the match, the final day saw England produce a phenomenal run chase. Led by Ben Duckett's stunning 149 and key contributions from Zak Crawley, Joe Root and Jamie Smith, the hosts chased down the target in just 82 overs, finishing at 373/5 to secure a five-wicket win and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match Test series. Duckett was awarded player of the match for his brilliance in the match.&nbsp;Brief scores: India 471 &amp; 364 (KL Rahul 137, Rishabh Pant 118; Josh Tongue 3/72) vs England 373/5 (Ben Duckett 149, Zak Crawley 65; Shardul Thakur 2/51).

India now has the most individual test hundreds in a losing cause

Yashasvi Jaiswal is a name that holds promise. The kind of promise that can alter a match with the bat, dominate a session, and sow dreams of future greatness. But recently, Jaiswal has been in the news for reasons that have nothing to do with his batting. In the first Test against England at Headingley, he dropped four catches—a worrying number at the top level, compounded by the fact that all but one were at slip, a specialist role which India has long had trouble filling adequately.&nbsp;By day 3, the jeers from the English crowd had turned into chants. A video of Jaiswal dancing after another dropped catch went viral. Some thought it was playful defiance. Others saw a player rattled by pressure, attempting to wear a mask of confidence while things unraveled around him. What should have been another chapter in his rise has instead become a talking point for all the wrong reasons: Why is India’s brightest young batting prospect fielding in one of the game’s most demanding positions?&nbsp;The problem is not merely perception—it's trend. Jaiswal has been consistently losing opportunities throughout the recent Tests. Though precise fielding statistics in Indian cricket continue to be hazy, video and broadcast evidence imply his slip catching effectiveness is far below the world average of around 50%. India's greatest, Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli, and Ajinkya Rahane, on the other hand, have ranged from 80–90% during their peak.<h2>Ashwin defends Yashasvi Jaiswal</h2>Jaiswal, crucially, isn’t a natural slip fielder. In his domestic and youth career, he was standing mostly in the deep or mid-on/off, where anticipation and running are key. But the slip cordon? That’s a different world. It requires soft hands, precise balance, keen reading of the game, and most importantly, familiarity. The ability to instinctively move with the bowler’s rhythm and respond in milliseconds isn’t built overnight.&nbsp;Ravichandran Ashwin defended Jaiswal after the match. He said, “You can’t lob your hands at the ball in slips. It’s not a catching drill at mid-off. It’s all about reaction and technique. Cut him some slack—he’ll learn.” His point was both empathetic and insightful. But it also raised a question: why is someone who is still learning the basics of slip fielding being asked to do it at the highest level, under overcast skies, with the ball swinging?

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">Remember when Jaiswal dropped 3 catches at MCG and we lost the BGT 2024-25. Today again, he dropped 5 easy catches vs England and gave away 250+ runs. Batters score, bowlers are doing well ,and one guy keeps ruining everything. How long will this go on? <a href="https://t.co/i8K9HhMc2h">pic.twitter.com/i8K9HhMc2h</a>&mdash; 👑 (@SG77Era) <a href="https://twitter.com/SG77Era/status/1937511102096769233?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 24, 2025</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The answer might lie in transition. With Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma taking retirement from Test cricket, India’s slip cordon is unsettled. Where once you had a trusted trio—Rohit at first, Kohli at second, Rahane or Gill at third—you now have a revolving door of personnel, and Jaiswal has become one of the placeholders. This isn't just unfair to him—it’s dangerous. Slips work on chemistry as much as technique. Trust builds over time. Instincts sharpen with shared experience.&nbsp;The dropped chances at Headingley weren’t identical, but they had common traits: Jaiswal was often flat-footed, stiff in the hands, upright in posture, and delayed in reaction. On at least two occasions, he reached for the ball instead of letting it come to him. These are fixable issues—but not in the middle of a high-pressure Test match.The added layer to this saga is the crowd reaction. The Headingley fans mocked him mercilessly after his fourth drop. Jaiswal’s response—a smile, a shrug, a dance—was perhaps his way of staying unfazed. But for many, it signalled the opposite: a player under siege, unsure whether to hide or double down. In a different setting, his defiance might have been endearing. In this one, it bordered on misplaced.<h2>Should Yashasvi Jaiswal field at slip?</h2>This has sparked a wave of commentary about how fielding positions are assigned in the current Indian setup. Some fans on social media argue that under Rohit Sharma, this wouldn’t have happened. Rohit, known for his attention to field placements and trusted cordon, might have eased Jaiswal in more gradually. He’s shown in the past how to mould young players without overwhelming them. In contrast, India’s current team—led by young, in-transition captains—seems to be improvising.&nbsp;Ashwin’s defence of Jaiswal is valid. Jaiswal is 22. He’s playing away from home, in conditions that punish mistakes and magnify inexperience. But the question remains: should he have been placed there in the first place? When Jasprit Bumrah bowls a peach and finds the edge, India cannot afford to rely on a fielder still adjusting to the role.&nbsp;The solution isn’t to scapegoat Jaiswal. He’s too good a player, and his temperament with the bat suggests he will grow into a complete cricketer in time. But the fielding setup must be more deliberate. Jaiswal should be shifted out of the cordon—at least for now—while a more natural catcher steps in. He needs structured drills, time to learn from past masters, and most of all, a defined plan for improvement.&nbsp;In Test cricket, especially overseas, catches win matches. They turn sessions. They flip momentum. Jaiswal’s missteps are a symptom of a deeper issue: a lack of continuity and preparation in the slip cordon. If India is serious about building the next great red-ball side, that cannot continue. Yashasvi Jaiswal’s hands are golden when gripping the bat. But in the slips, they’ve become a liability India can’t afford. Not yet. Not like this. Not when Tests are decided by the narrowest of margins.

India's greatest, Rahul Dravid, Virat Kohli, and Ajinkya Rahane, on the other hand, have ranged from 80–90% during their peak. Ashwin defends Yashasvi Jaiswal Jaiswal, crucially, isn’t a natural slip fielder. In his domestic and youth career, he was standing mostly in the deep or mid-on/off, where anticipation and running are key. But the slip cordon? That’s a different world. It requires soft hands, precise balance, keen reading of the game, and most importantly, familiarity. The ability to instinctively move with the bowler’s rhythm and respond in milliseconds isn’t built overnight. Ravichandran Ashwin defended Jaiswal after the match. He said, “You can’t lob your hands at the ball in slips. It’s not a catching drill at mid-off. It’s all about reaction and technique. Cut him some slack—he’ll learn.” His point was both empathetic and insightful. But it also raised a question: why is someone who is still learning the basics of slip fielding being asked to do it at the highest level, under overcast skies, with the ball swinging?

Jaiswal put three chances down – one each of Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Harry Brook

India skipper Shubman Gill admitted the collapse of the lower order in both the innings did prove expensive for them during the five wicket loss to England in the first Test on Tuesday (June 24). Despite vice-captain Rishabh Pant scoring centuries in each innings of the opening Tests and other key batters in openers KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Gill himself hitting their respective tons, India failed to get to big totals in both the innings and also dropped crucial catches. This is the first time in history of Indian cricket that a team lost a Test after five individual hundreds being scored by its batters. India lost from 430/3 in the first innings to 471 with seven wickets for 41 runs and in the second, they fell to 364 all-out from 333/4, losing six wickets for 31 runs.&nbsp;"A brilliant Test match," said Gill after the loss. "We had chances in the match, a few dropped catches, and the lower order didn't contribute as it would have been." Reflecting on the second innings, where India collapsed from 333/4 to 364 all out, Gill revealed that India were initially planning a declaration. “Yesterday we were thinking to give them around 400-430 to chase and declare, but our lower order added around 20-25 runs, which is never a good sign,” he said. “Even today, I thought after their brilliant opening partnership, we did have our chances but just didn't go our way.”&nbsp;Sharing his thought on what he might have done differently as captain, Gill said, “The first session we bowled, we were quite spot on. But it's quite hard to stop the runs once the ball gets old, and you have to keep picking wickets to stay in the game. Unfortunately, some catches didn't find the fielders and didn't go our way, but I think they batted really well. After the ball got old, they took their chances, and their opening partnership took the game away from us.” Jasprit Bumrah’s performance also drew interest, especially after he went wicketless in the second innings. Gill confirmed the team would assess his workload before the second Test. “It's definitely more game by game. There's a good break after this Test match, so once we are close to the match, we'll see.”
