IND vs ENG Highlights, 2nd Test Match Day 5: India crush England by 336 runs to seal first-ever Test win at Edgbaston, level series 1-1
India vs England Highlights, 2nd Test Match Day 5: India ended their long wait for a Test win at Edgbaston with a commanding 336-run victory over England, squaring the series at 1-1 and setting up a mouth-watering contest ahead of the third Test at Lord’s. The hero of the day was an unheralded Akash Deep, whose journey from Bihar’s Sasaram to a 10-wicket match haul at one of England’s most iconic venues is the stuff of dreams.
With Jasprit Bumrah missing, there were genuine concerns over India’s ability to pick 20 wickets on a flat surface. Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj rose to the challenge brilliantly. Akash, who honed his craft with Bengal after humble beginnings playing tennis-ball cricket for pocket money, produced incisive new-ball spells and clever seam movement off the pitch to destroy England’s top order twice. His sharp incutters accounted for big names like Joe Root, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope and Harry Brook, while his final-day burst ensured England never got close to forcing a draw.
India resumed on the final day needing quick breakthroughs after rain delayed play. Akash struck early to bowl Pope off his elbow and then trapped Brook lbw with a delivery that jagged back sharply. Washington Sundar then got Ben Stokes out just before lunch, rewarding India’s disciplined bowling.
Jamie Smith stood firm with an 88, trying to pull off a miracle, but Akash Deep’s clever short ball ended his resistance. Fittingly, the 28-year-old sealed the win by removing Brydon Carse with a catch to Shubman Gill at cover. The young captain’s celebration, stump in hand, summed up India’s dominance and belief under his leadership.
Gill’s monumental runs across both innings laid the foundation for India’s massive target, while Siraj and Jadeja ensured constant pressure from the other end. Jadeja exploited the rough perfectly and Sundar chipped in when it mattered. Even Prasidh Krishna played a key holding role in the decider.
For India, the victory breaks a 58-year-old Edgbaston jinx and proves they can win anywhere, even without Bumrah. With the ace pacer confirmed for Lord’s and Archer possibly returning for England, the series is beautifully poised. The challenge now will be to build on this momentum and turn it into a famous series win on English soil — a dream that feels closer than ever.

In a dazzling exhibition of batting brilliance, India captain Shubman Gill rewrote the Test cricket record books during the second Test at Edgbaston, producing twin centuries that have firmly cemented his place among the modern greats.
Gill’s historic double — including a blistering 269 in the first innings and a commanding 161 in the second — bookended India’s dominance in a match that now bears his imprint. Following India’s declaration at 427/6, England were set an improbable target of 608 runs, the kind of total rarely seen in fourth-innings chases.
With India in full command, Gill’s record-breaking feat has emerged as the defining storyline of Edgbaston 2025 — a Test destined to be remembered for his masterclass with the bat.

In a record-shattering display at Edgbaston, Team India, under the leadership of Shubman Gill, etched their name in cricketing history by becoming the first Indian side to cross the 1,000-run mark in a single Test match, amassing a staggering aggregate of 1,014 runs across both innings of the second Test against England.
This historic feat makes India only the sixth team in the 147-year history of Test cricket to breach the 1,000-run barrier in a match. It also surpasses India’s previous best Test match total of 916, recorded against Australia at the SCG in 2004.
By doing so, India joins an exclusive "1000-club", featuring cricketing giants such as England (1930), Australia (1934 & 1969), South Africa (1939), and Pakistan (2006) — all of whom had reached the milestone in previous eras.

India stand on the brink of a famous victory in the second Test against England at Edgbaston, but rain in Birmingham on Sunday threatens to derail their push to level the five-match series 1-1.
The visitors are firmly in control thanks to a record-breaking performance from captain Shubman Gill, who became the first batter in Test history to score both a 250 and a 150 in the same match. Gill followed up his monumental 267 in the first innings with a blistering 161 off just 162 balls in the second, declaring India’s innings at 427/6 after tea on Day 4.
With that, England were set a near-impossible target of 608 runs — the highest successful chase in Test history remains 418 by the West Indies. India’s bowlers made immediate inroads, with Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep once again striking early with the new ball to leave England in deep trouble.
However, with a full day to go, weather interruptions could be India’s biggest hurdle in wrapping up the win.

IND vs ENG Live Score: England face everest as India close in on win
England’s fourth innings challenge - chasing a record 608 - is beyond daunting.
The highest successful chase in Test history remains West Indies’ 418 in 2003, and England’s best is 378 against India in 2022 at this very venue.
“Nothing is impossible,” said England’s batting coach Marcus Trescothick. “But 536 is a lot of runs... if we were to chase that down, it would be an epic day’s play.”
With three wickets already down and only Harry Brook holding fort at stumps, India are on the brink of a series-levelling victory - thanks to Gill’s heroics and a pace attack punching above their weight.

India vs England Live Score: Akash and Siraj keep pressure on as England crumble
India’s pacers, undeterred by the flat pitch, came out breathing fire under gloomy skies.
Siraj got Crawley with a full delivery angled across, while Akash Deep, once again stepping up in Bumrah’s absence, produced a dream delivery to castle Root.
The world’s No.1 Test batter was undone by a full-length ball that moved away late.
“That’s a pleasing sign,” said bowling coach Morne Morkel. “Akash is an attacking bowler who bowls at the stumps and asks tough questions. Dismissing a player like Root in that fashion shows his quality.”

IND vs ENG Live Score: Gill’s second innings shift
After a patient start, Gill exploded post-lunch. Tongue’s short-pitched ploy backfired as Gill dispatched him with ferocity - pulling, hooking, and flat-batting boundaries with disdain.
Bashir bore the brunt of Gill’s growing confidence, with the Indian skipper regularly employing the sweep to perfection. He reached his hundred with a single before tea and then accelerated with a flurry of sixes and fours.
Gill’s final tally included 13 boundaries and eight sixes before he chipped a simple return catch to Bashir. His innings wasn’t just about numbers - it was a statement of authority from a new-era Indian leader.

IND vs ENG Live Score, 2nd Test Match: Pant’s blitz, Rahul’s grace, and Tongue’s fiery spell
Earlier in the day, India resumed their innings in a steady fashion with KL Rahul showcasing his elegance through a series of stylish cover drives before falling to a peach from Josh Tongue. Karun Nair fell to Brydon Carse’s persistence after surviving a blow to the helmet.
But the real fireworks began with Pant’s arrival. The wicketkeeper-batter launched a brutal counterattack, smashing Tongue and Stokes with audacious strokes, including a falling pick-up six and a one-handed slog that sent his bat flying. His 65 off 58 balls came in a 110-run stand with Gill, keeping the momentum squarely with India.

India vs England Live Score: Declaration delay raises eyebrows
Despite India’s commanding position, their delay in declaring raised questions among pundits and fans.
Former India batter Cheteshwar Pujara remarked on air that Gill should have pulled the plug at least 30 minutes earlier.
In a rare scene at Edgbaston, chants of “boring, boring India” erupted from the otherwise raucous Hollies stand as Gill batted on after his own dismissal. The decision did eventually bring dividends, though, with England limping to 72/3 at stumps on day four.
Mohammed Siraj dismissed Zak Crawley, while Akash Deep cleaned up Ben Duckett and Joe Root to leave the hosts reeling ahead of day five.

While Ravindra Jadeja (69*), Rishabh Pant (65), and KL Rahul (55) played supporting roles, it was Gill’s commanding presence at the crease that completely shifted the tide of the series.

India vs England Highlights, 2nd Test Match Day 5: India crushed England by 336 runs at Edgbaston to claim their first-ever Test victory at the venue and level the five-Test series 1-1. On a rain-hit final day, Akash Deep emerged as the hero, taking a remarkable match haul of 10 wickets while filling the massive void left by Jasprit Bumrah’s absence. The pacer, who hails from Bihar’s Sasaram, struck crucial blows early on day five to derail England’s hopes of saving the Test, dismissing Ollie Pope and Harry Brook in quick succession.
Shubman Gill, India’s young captain, led from the front with scores of 269 and 161, setting up a massive target that England could never realistically chase down. Mohammed Siraj supported brilliantly, and India’s spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar kept the pressure on, with Sundar removing Ben Stokes before lunch. Jamie Smith offered lone resistance for England but fell to a clever bouncer from Akash Deep, who fittingly took the final wicket as well.
The win is a statement for Gill’s fresh leadership, with Bumrah set to return for Lord’s and Akash Deep likely to share the new ball again. India will carry momentum and belief as they eye a rare series triumph in England.
