Eng 271-10 (68.1 Ovs) & 407 vs India 587 & 427 decl | Scorecard

Akash Deep continues. Carse chops one behind point but can't beat the fielder. He then gets an underedge as he looks to pull, the ball rolling to square leg. This time, he connects well - a strong pull shot races away for four. Carse then clips one to deep fine leg, but they decide against the single. A short and wide delivery follows, and Carse throws his bat at it - a thick edge flies over the cordon for another boundary, and to add to it, it's a no-ball. The final ball is bizarre - Carse looks to work a length delivery to the leg side, but misses, and the ball ends up lodged between his legs. A dot ends the over. Nine runs come off it - after 67 overs, England are 269 for 9.

Jadeja continues. Bashir defends with soft hands, showing grit as he hangs in and delays India's charge to victory. But Akash Deep returns - and finishes it in style! Carse looks to push one away, but gets an edge, and Shubman Gill takes a sharp catch. Carse departs for a fighting 38 off 48 balls.

Akash Deep claims his 10th wicket of the match and seals a famous win for India! India win by 336 runs and level the series 1-1.

The Edgbaston fortress has been breached - just like the Gabba, another chapter in India's growing legacy of iconic overseas triumphs.
