India captain Shubman Gill joined a select group of just four other cricketers to have scored more than 400 runs in a Test on Saturday.

By making a brilliant 161 in the ongoing second Test against England at Edgbaston, the 25-year-old Gill took his tally for the match to 430 runs following a commanding 269 in India's first innings.

Only England great Graham Gooch, with 456 runs against India at Lord's in 1990, has scored more runs in a single Test than Gill.
