England's batsmen struggled against Indian pace duo Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj, losing three wickets for 77 runs by the end of play on day two. The visitors' dominant display was led by India captain Shubman Gill, who recorded a record-breaking 269 off 387 balls, surpassing Sunil Gavaskar's 221 on English soil. Gill's innings shattered multiple records, including the highest score by an Indian captain and the highest by any Indian in Tests outside Asia. Gill's 203-run partnership with Jadeja and his subsequent 42-run stand with Washington Sundar helped India build a strong foundation. England will resume play on day three with Harry Brook (30) and Joe Root (18) at the crease, facing a daunting task to recover from the Indian onslaught.
