Team India touched a historic milestone during the second Test against England at Birmingham.

 

It was runs and records galore for Team India as the visitors managed 587 all out and 427/6 declared across both innings, making it only the sixth instance when a team scored over 1,000 runs combined in a Test.

  • Scorecard

India have never won a Test match at Edgbaston but the venue will go down in history as the first ground where they registered more than 1,000 runs in a test match (1,011).

The highest is England's aggregate of 1,131 runs against the West Indies in 1930 at Kingston, scoring 849 and 272/9 declared in the third Test, which ended in a draw. The series also ended in a 1-1 draw.

On Saturday, Indian captain Shubman Gill concluded a record-breaking Birmingham Test against England with breathtaking knocks of 269 and 161 across both innings, making him the batter with the second-highest aggregate of runs in a Test match.
