Eng 271-10 (68.1 Ovs) & 407 vs India 587 & 427 decl | Scorecard
Shubman Gill, Mohammed Siraj, and Rishabh Pant - heroes of the Gabba - have done it again, this time scripting India's first-ever Test win at Edgbaston.
But it was Akash Deep who stole the show, claiming his maiden Test five-for and finishing with 10 wickets in the match on a placid fourth-innings track. Gill, captaining only his second Test, delivered a commanding statement: a double century in the first innings, 161 in the second.
Pant chipped in with a game-turning fifty, Jadeja scored twin half-centuries, and Siraj tore through England with a six-for to set it all up. Akash Deep then sealed it with pace, precision, and heart.
Even with rain wiping out over an hour on the final day, India stormed through the seven wickets they needed - wrapping up a dominant 336-run win with time to spare. They've buried the ghosts of Headingley. The fortress at Edgbaston has fallen. The series is alive and roaring at 1-1.
