Former cricketer Michael Atherton had some sympathy for India Test captain Shubman Gill, who is under the pump after England youngsters Harry Brook and Jamie Smith came hard at the tourists on the third day of the second Test at Edgbaston.

Gill scored an imperious 269 on day two at Edgbaston, besting Sunil Gavaskar's claim to the highest ever score by an Indian batter on English soil and Virat Kohli's mark for the biggest knock by an India captain, as his side posted 587.

Shubman Gill listened to the voice messages of his parents after the sensational knock and became very emotional.
