With the Indian batters enjoying a comfortable outing during the second session of play in the first Test between India and England, Brydon Carse showed a bit of sportsmanship to distract Shubman Gill on the opening day of the second match of the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham.

The incident happened before the fourth ball of the 34th as Carse was spotted making a no-ball signal with his left-hand in his run-up. Gill spotted the activity and moved away from his batting stance at the last minute. While the English pacer did deliver the ball, it was declared a dead ball by the umpire as the Indian captain pointed out Carse's activity as the reason behind his decision.

However, Carse almost got Gill's wicket on the next delivery. The 29-year-old bowled a stunning delivery that hit Gill on the pads. After loud appeals from the English team, the on-field gave a not-out, leading to Ben Stokes calling for a review. However, the replays showed a faint edge by the Indian skipper.

Carse had dismissed Gill in the second innings of the first Test at Leeds after the 25-year-old managed to make just eight runs following a stunning knock of 147 in the first innings. The right-arm pacer got the Indian captain's wicket on the first over of Day 4.

Talking about this match, England won the toss and chose to bowl first. Yashasvi Jaiswal was once again India's star with a knock of 87 after failures for KL Rahul (2) and Karun Nair (31). Carse has at his dangerous best and made life tough for Indian batters on a placid track with little help for bowlers. He got the wicket of Nair just before the lunch break as a hard length delivery left the 33-year-old Indian batter surprised, who edged it to Harry Brook in second slip.
