Avesh all but out; Gill back home 

Fast bowler Avesh Khan’s tour of England is set to end abruptly after being ruled out of India’s warm-up game against County Select XI due to a left thumb fracture, which he sustained on the opening day in Durham. Meanwhile, Shubman Gill, who was earlier ruled out of the England series with shin splints, has returned home. 

Warm-up match: Brief scores: Day 2 stumps: India (1st innings) 311 in 93 overs; County Select XI (1st innings) 220/9 in 82.3 overs (Haseeb Hameed 112, Umesh Yadav 3/22)
