by The Indian captain Shubman Gill helped a record-breaking double century against England when the tourists increased a merciless 564 for seven on the second day of the second Rothesay test.
At Tea on Thursday evening, Gill was in his element at 265, not only for a career-best knock, but also the highest number of points of an Indian dough on English soil and most of an Indian captain.

After Gill had assumed the legendary slot of the legendary number four, once the great Sachin Tendulkar and most recently from the A-Lister employee Virat Kohli, Gill removed all questions about his ability to bear the burden of expectations.
It was a hot day for Ben Stokes’ men who were brought to the field by her skipper to reproduce the pattern of the victory of last week in Headingley. With tea they had shipped 254 runs in return for two consolation winders.
Both men played practical supporting roles for the exemplary Gill, which led in a princely performance of 203 and 144.

Gill started playing under the belt at 114 and was not in the mood to give it away on a field that played more straight and true from moment.
Ben Stokes took the new ball next to Chris Woakes, but none of the man was able to summon a danger, a threatening warning about the running festival that should develop. Jadeja had his ninth fifty against England and Gill soon exceeded the 147, which he had done at the start of the series in Leeds last week.

A constant trickle of borders gave the rating rate a bump. Jadeja hit four of Stokes and Gill in a row, who liked Brydon Carse after entering the fight. With a wafer thin edge of the error for the bowl, CARSE found hard when he pulled too crowded and around the corner when he was briefly dug.
England kept an eye on Jadeja’s footwork, apparently concerned that he had later created another rough for his own off-spin in the game, but there was no formal intervention by the referees.

Just when it looked as if England had no one anywhere, the tongue found just enough jump to obtain the mistake.
Sundar’s nervous start of the tongue gave England the wrong hope of wrapping the innings, and soon they found that he was for a long stay. They became visibly tired in the middle session, in which 145 the total number and a handful of signs made that they lost the handle.
In a stage, root and Zak Crawley collided in an unsuccessful attempt to cut off one of the 30 fours from Gill, and the part of the deeper Harry Brook served five overview of unscramed medium -sized pace and a significantly tired carse saw four byes through the legs of Smiths when he dragged a tired on the leg.
GILLS 200 came in 311 balls and the data showed a false shooting rating of only five percent. His next 50 was the fastest of the property and only included 37 balls. Root hit Sundars Stumpf with a decent outbreak, but his stony celebration told the story of the day.
