England seamer Josh Tongue has claimed the most wickets in two tests. In four innings, he has grabbed 11 wickets at an average of 33.63. Joe Root needs 45 runs to become the first batter to score 3000 against India in Test cricket. Gill needs just 18 more runs to surpass Rahul Dravid's 2002 haul of 602, to become the most by an Indian batter in England. At Lord's, India and England have faced off 19 times.
