England cricketer David Lloyd took aim at Shubman Gill’s leadership during the Edgbaston Test, particularly criticising his overly cautious fielding setup while Harry Brook and Jamie Smith amassed a formidable 303-run partnership.

Captain Shubman Gill has risen to the challenge and how. After batting for nearly two days and scoring 269, he put his side well and truly ahead at Birmingham. And just after that, he took a sharp catch at slips to send the dangerous Ben Duckett packing early during England's first innings.

New captain Shubman Gill’s unbeaten 114 has led India’s gritty effort to 310-5 against England on day one of the second test in Birmingham.
