IND vs ENG 2nd Test: India tightened their grip on the second Test at Edgbaston, closing out Day 4 in a commanding position. The hosts were reduced to 72 for 3 at stumps, still trailing by 536 runs in pursuit of a mammoth 608-run target set by the visitors.

The day began with India resuming their second innings with a healthy lead, and skipper Shubman Gill once again proved why he is the talk of the cricketing world. Following up his first-innings marathon of 269, Gill hammered a rapid 161 off just 162 deliveries, putting England's bowlers under constant pressure.

His effort not only pushed India's total to 427/6 declared, but also etched his name in the record books - becoming the first Indian to score over 400 runs in a single Test and only the second after Sunil Gavaskar to register a double century and century in the same match.

India built their innings steadily, with KL Rahul contributing a fluent 55 and Karun Nair chipping in with 26. Post-lunch, Gill switched gears, sharing a crucial 110-run stand with Rishabh Pant, who blasted 65 off 58 balls. Ravindra Jadeja then supported Gill in the latter stages, finishing unbeaten on 69 as India declared shortly after Gill's dismissal.

With more than a day left in the match, India's bowlers came out firing. Mohammed Siraj struck early, removing Zak Crawley for a duck, and Akash Deep followed with two big blows-dismissing Ben Duckett and Joe Root-to leave England in tatters. The hosts will resume on the final day with Ollie Pope (24*) and Harry Brook (15*) at the crease, hoping to salvage pride in what has become a nearly impossible chase.

As the Test enters its final day, India are on the brink of a historic win. England will need a miracle to survive, let alone chase down the record target. All eyes will be on India's pace battery to finish the job and seal a memorable victory. Here's a look at the session timings on Day 5.
