Records tumbled as India skipper Shubman Gill stood tall with a commanding and unbeaten knock of 265 on day two of the second test against England, propelling the tourists to a mammoth total of 564-7 by tea at Edgbaston on Thursday.

Captain Shubman Gill is 265 not out at tea as he and Washington Sundar have led India closer to 600 runs against England on day two of the second test in Birmingham.
