WATCH: Shubman Gill slams Akash Deep over costly error in second Test vs England, says ' dekh kya raha hai'
New Delhi: India's Test skipper Shubman Gill, was the centre of attention during the second day of the second Test against England in Birmingham, as he scored magical 269, a knock that will be remembered for ages. Shubman guided India to a total of 587 in 151 overs of their first innings.
Shubman was excellent in attacking the English bowlers and in defending the good deliveries. Gill smashed 30 fours and three sixes in his brilliant.
Akash Deep nearly made a costly mistake
Earlier on Day 2 just before Tea, Gill tried to get a quick single but Akash Deep was surprised. At the non strikers end, he was slow to react, when Ollie Pope, at mid-on raced towards his right into a dive, and threw in a sharp one to the wicketkeeper.

Pope's throw towards the wicketkeeper was not accurate and gave Akash Deep some extra time to reach the crease. When Gill reached the non-striker's end, gave Akash Deep a piece of his mind. 'Dekh kya raha hai? Bhaag jaldi se (What are you staring at? Run quickly)' Gill screamed.
With India at 211/5 and a target of 450, this appeared too far to go. Shubman Gill, however, stepped up to the plate and achieved a splendid career high Test score, and led the side to near vicinity, at 587.
Great support from Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar
Ravindra Jadeja (89) and Washington Sundar (42) provided strong support to Gill, stitching together crucial partnerships of 203 and 144 for the sixth and seventh wickets respectively, as India's lower order delivered in style. For England, with little assistance from the pitch, Shoaib Bashir returned with figures of 3/167, while Chris Woakes and Josh Tongue chipped in with 2/81 and 2/119 respectively.

Shubman Gill Reveals Father's Message After 269: 'He Told Me I Missed 300'
Last Updated: Shubman Gill's father Lakhwinder Singh was proud of his 269 but reminded him about him missing a 300! The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has shared a wholesome video of captain Shubman Gill's day out at Edgbaston on Thursday during the second Test between India and England in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Apart from the behind-the-scenes of his interactions with media and various fans on the ground and in the team hotel, it also revealed his parents, Lakhwinder Singh and Keart Gill's audio message for him. Gill smashed 269 (387) in India's first innings of the Test. It was not just his highest score but also the chart-topper for Indians in Tests outside Asia and for Indian captains, ever. Lakhwinder felt proud and peaceful at seeing his son's marathon knock, saying that it reminded him of his childhood days. However, Gill revealed that he also reminded him that the 25-year-old missed the chance to score a triple-century. 'Shubman beta, well played. I really enjoyed watching your batting. It gave me a lot of peace of mind. When you were younger, under 16 or 19, you used to bat like that. And I felt very proud," Lakhwinder can be heard saying in the video via Gill's phone. 'It was very nice to see your batting. Keep going. God bless you," Keart adds in the message. Gill spoke next and mentioned how much it means to him, given he started playing the sport for his father. 'I went to the pool for some recovery, came back, and showered… This message means a lot to me," he said. 'I think growing up, I played almost all of my cricket for my dad. In the sense that it was because of him that I started playing cricket. And the only person, he and my best friend, whom I practiced with. These are the only two people, when it comes to my cricket, that I care about and that I listen to. So, it means a lot coming from him. But he did also tell me that I missed my triple century. Hopefully, we will end this match on a great note," he added with a smile. Gill's knock helped India score 587/10 in the first innings. England were 77/3 at stumps.

Was Akash Deep's delivery that uprooted Joe Root a no-ball? Here's what you should know
Was Akash Deep's delivery that uprooted Joe Root a no-ball? Here's what you should know New Delhi: On the fourth day of the second Test being played between India and England, Akash Deep bowled England batsman Joe Root for just 6 runs in the second innings and sent him to the pavilion. This wicket was considered the turning point of the match, but now a controversy has arisen over it. Commentator Alison Mitchell believes that this ball was a back-foot no-ball and should have been declared invalid. Commentator Alison Mitchell's claim Alison Mitchell, who was commentating on BBC Test Match Special (BBC TMS), commented long after the bowling that Akash Deep's ball, which got Root out, could have been a no-ball. He said, 'At the time of ball release, Akash Deep's back foot was about two inches outside the line of the return crease. The ball should not have been considered valid, but it was not caught.' What does the back-foot no-ball rule say? According to MCC rule 21.5 of cricket, for a valid delivery, the bowler's back foot must be within the line of the return crease determined by his bowling style and must not even touch the line. If the bowler's back foot goes outside the return crease, it is considered a 'back-foot no-ball', even if the front foot is in the correct position. Is this the first time it has happened? Back-foot no-ball incidents are rarely seen in cricket, as most umpires focus only on the front-foot. However, it is clear in the rule that the back foot should also be within the crease. Interestingly, sometimes the front foot goes outside the return crease, like Ravichandran Ashwin once did in the IPL while bowling against Rajasthan Royals, but it was legal under the rule. Did the umpires commit error? In this case, the umpires considered the ball legal and Joe Root was given out. But if Mitchell's claim is true, it was a technical lapse, which should have been stopped by the on-field or third umpire. In such a situation, the question arises whether enough attention is being paid to back-foot no-balls? Will it affect the result of the match? Even if it was a technical lapse, until the umpires take any action, the wicket will be considered valid. England still need 536 runs to win and they are at 72/3. In such a situation, this controversy may become a topic of discussion, but at the moment it does not seem to have a direct impact on the result.

Watch: Novak Djokovic Explains 'Victory Dance' As Daughter Steals The Show at Wimbledon
Last Updated: Taja Djokovic stole the limelight from her dad with victory dance following the Serb's record 100th win at Wimbledon. Novak Djokovic was putting up a masterclass on the court on Saturday as he notched up his 100th win at Wimbledon. However, it was his 7-year-old daughter, Tara, who stole the show with her dance moves. This year at the Wimbledon, Djokovic has performed a dance – pump it up – to celebrate his victory. On Saturday, he was asked to explain what it was. 'It's called 'pumpa' in our language and pump it up in English. There's a song with my kids," Djokovic said. And then he quickly spotted Tara dancing to the pop song. 'And look, my daughter is doing it right now. You want to show it, darling? You want to show how it goes? She's the master! It's a little tradition we have right now so hopefully we can keep going so we can keep pumping in Wimbledon," Djokovic said. As Tara explained how to perform the dance, the crowd at the venue erupted in unison. The song was released by Belgian artist Danzel in 2004.
