India made a bold selection call for the second Test against England. They didn’t include bowlers Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, and Arshdeep Singh. Despite trailing 0-1 in the series, the visiting team opted for Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar, and Akash Deep to shake things up in the playing XI.
Captain Shubman Gill anchored the innings with an unbeaten 114 off 216 balls. It was his second century of the series and the second by an Indian batter in Birmingham after Virat Kohli.
By stumps, India had reached 310/5 in 85 overs, with the second new ball just five overs old. England will be hoping to wrap up India’s lower order in the first session.

Jasprit Bumrah Likely to Return to India’s Playing XI for Lord’s Test
With just a three-day gap between the second and third Tests, Jasprit Bumrah is expected to return to the playing XI at Lord’s. The pace ace had a heavy workload in the opening Test at Headingley, where he bowled 43.4 overs during India’s five-wicket defeat.
The team’s bowlers had come under criticism after the series opener, not just for their bowling but also for poor shot selection with the bat, which hurt India’s position in both innings.
