Shubman Gill Show At Edgtbaston
This happens to be India's first win at Edgbaston after a prolonged 51 years. In the past eight matches, India have lost seven and drawn one.

Shubman Gill shone brightly and helped India put up a massive 587 on the board with a brilliant 269. Despite Jamie Smith and Harry Brook's sensational partnership England could not breach the 450-run mark and were bowled out for 407 runs. Mohammed Siraj had a brilliant time with the ball and picked up a six-wicket haul to get India back in the game

England lost wickets at regular intervals, but Jamie Smith stood tall and continued his fine run with a valiant 88 runs. Akash Deep emerged as India's flag-bearer and broke the English defence with a brilliant six-wicket haul. He left England stuttering on day three with the dismissals of Ben Duckett and Joe Root. The 28-year-old took very little time to deliver his magic and sent back Harry Brook, Ollie Pope and Jamie Smith to turn the heat. he ended up picking a 10-fer and has almost sealed a place in the team for the much-anticipated third Test match at Lord's.
The series is now levelled at 1-1 and the visitors will definitely fancy their chances in the next match, which will start on July 10.
