India tightened their grip on the second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Edgbaston, reaching 177 for 3 at lunch on the fourth day and extending their overall advantage to 357 runs. Opener KL Rahul underpinned the morning session with a composed 55 from 84 deliveries—his 18th Test half-century—before a seaming delivery from fast-bowler Josh Tongue uprooted his middle stump. Rahul’s stand followed an early loss of Karun Nair for 26 to Brydon Carse. At the interval, captain Shubman Gill remained unbeaten on 24 alongside Rishabh Pant, whose brisk 41 not out came from just 35 balls. With a sizeable cushion already in hand, India will look to bat England out of contention when play resumes.
