Ind vs Eng: Ravindra Jadeja narrowly misses century, Shubman Gill continues to pile up runs as India reach 419/6 at lunch on Day 2

Ravindra Jadeja missed his fifth Test century by just 11 runs even as India cruised to 419/6 at lunch on Day 2 of the second Test against England at Edgbaston in Birmingham.

The all-rounder was dismissed for 89 just before the break with an excellent bouncer by Josh Tongue. In his 137-ball knock, Jadeja 10 fours and one six and added 203 runs for the sixth wicket with captain Shubman Gill, who continued from where he left overnight.

Gill is unbeaten on 168 runs and is batting with Washington Sundar as India added over 100 runs in the first session on Thursday.


After being put into bat first, India lost KL Rahul early. Karun Nair and Yashasvi Jaiswal put on a little partnership before the former fell at the stroke of lunch. Gill, batting at No. 4, grinded hard for his century and stitched important partnerships with Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja.

Earlier, Jaiswal, who had also smashed a century in the first Test, missed out on another ton by just 13 runs, having been dismissed by Ben Stokes for 87 runs.
