India piled up 587 in the first innings, thanks to Gill’s double century and Ravindra Jadeja’s 89. England replied with 407, salvaged only by a counter-attacking 303-run partnership between Jamie Smith (184)* and Harry Brook (158). However, Mohammed Siraj’s fiery 6/70 and Akash Deep’s crucial wickets turned the tide.
In their second outing, India declared at 427/6, with Gill and Jadeja again leading the charge. England, chasing a mammoth target, folded for 271, as Akash Deep bagged a career-best 6/99, finishing with match figures of 10 wickets.
This win not only broke India’s winless streak at Edgbaston but also showcased a new generation’s dominance. With the 3rd Test at Lord’s set for July 10, the momentum firmly shifts towards the visitors.
