Following India's five-wicket loss to England in the first Test, former Australian player Brad Haddin urges captain Shubman Gill to improve the team's fielding attitude.

Despite India's commanding 336-run victory at Edgbaston, levelling the five-match series 1-1, Michael Vaughan maintains his pre-series prediction of a 3-1 win for England.

Rishabh Pant etched his name in cricket history, becoming the first Asian wicketkeeper-batter to surpass 2,000 Test runs in SENA countries.
