Gill’s marathon double-ton, pacers’ carnage leave England reeling on Day 2 of Edgbaston Test

On a day when India firmly took charge of the second Test at Edgbaston, it was Shubman Gill who stood tall with a marathon 269—his career-best knock that not only rewrote records but also sent a clear message: the captain was here to lead from the front.
