England ended day two of the match 510 runs behind but remains optimistic about victory. Ben Stokes's captaincy has led to wins in all three matches where opponents scored 500 or more runs. Jeetan Patel, assistant coach, expressed confidence in the team’s ability to overcome challenges, emphasizing the remaining three days of cricket. Shubman Gill's impressive batting has tested the bowlers, leaving them fatigued but hopeful of a turnaround with two top batters at the crease.
Under Ben Stokes's captaincy England have won all three matches when their opposition has scored 500 or more runs in an innings, something that had happened only six times in the previous 145 years.
There's still three days of cricket left. There's a lot of cricket to go. And I think on a fast-scoring ground you never know what can happen.
Shubman Gill ... batted over the two days has been fantastic. He's put on a proper masterclass in how to bat on a good wicket.
I just think we'll find another way to do it. ... I think that's the beauty of the team that we have, and the players we have and the belief they have in how they want to play the game.
