India's first win in Birmingham in 58 years

The Indian cricket team defeated England by 336 runs in the second Test match played at Edgbaston Ground in Birmingham. With this, the five-match series has been tied at 1-1.

Chasing a target of 608 runs, England&#39;s team was all out for 271 runs on the last day of the match. This is India&#39;s biggest win in terms of runs on English soil so far. The previous record was of victory by 279 runs. India defeated the British by this margin in Leeds in 1986. Also, India has achieved its first victory in Birmingham in 58 years. Earlier, out of the 8 Tests played here, India had lost 7 and 1 match was drawn.

On the last day of the match, England started playing ahead with a score of 72 runs for three wickets. The match started with a delay of about 90 minutes due to rain. By lunch, the British lost three more wickets. The remaining four wickets fell in the second session. For India, Akash Deep took 6 wickets, Mohammad Siraj, Washington Sundar, Prasidh Krishna and Ravindra Jadeja took one wicket each.

India lost the toss and batted first and scored 587 runs in the first innings. Shubman Gill played an innings of 269 runs. In reply, England&#39;s first innings was reduced to 407 runs. India declared their second innings at a score of 427 runs for 6 wickets. Gill was again the top scorer and scored 161 runs. He was the Player of the Match. He scored 430 runs in both innings of this match, while Akash Deep took 10 wickets. Scorecard of the match...

<h2>Heroes of India&#39;s victory</h2>

<h2>Shubman Gill</h2>

This is proving to be a dream series for Indian captain Shubman Gill. Gill has scored 585 runs in two Test matches. In the second Test, all the English bowlers looked helpless in front of Gill. Gill scored 269 runs in 387 balls in the first innings. In this innings, Gill spent 8 hours, 29 minutes on the crease. In the second innings, he batted even more aggressively and scored 161 runs in 162 balls. Gill hit 43 fours and 11 sixes in the match.

<h2>Akash Deep</h2>

Akash Deep did not get a chance in the playing-11 in the first match. This time he played in the absence of Bumrah. He bowled brilliantly in both the innings. In the first innings, Akashdeep took 4 wickets for 88 runs. Whereas, in the second innings, he took 6 wickets for 99 runs. Akashdeep troubled the England batsmen throughout the match with his seam movement. With the new ball, he gave breakthroughs to the Indian team in both the innings.

<h2>Mohammad Siraj</h2>

Siraj took 6 wickets for 70 runs in England&#39;s first innings on this pitch which proved to be a paradise for the batsmen. He also took a wicket in England&#39;s second innings. The team&#39;s strike bowler Jasprit Bumrah was not playing in this match. In such a situation, Siraj played the role of lead bowler very well.

<h2>Captain Gill said-</h2>

The way we scattered their top order was commendable. Prasidh Krishna did not get many wickets, but he bowled tremendously. Akash consistently bowled at the right length and made the ball swing to the other side. Bumrah will return to Lord&#39;s. There can be no greater honor than captaining your country in a Test match at Lord&#39;s.

<h2>The third Test will be held at Lord&#39;s from July 10</h2>

The third Test match of the series will be played at Lord&#39;s Cricket Ground from July 10. India has played 19 Tests here so far and won 3. Lost 12 and 4 matches were drawn. The good thing for India is that the team has won two out of the last three Test matches here.

<h3>Playing-11</h3>

England: Ben Stokes (captain), Jack Crowley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, Jamie Smith (wicketkeeper), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue and Shoaib Bashir.

India: Shubman Gill (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Karun Nair, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Akashdeep, Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna.

The Indian cricket team defeated England by 336 runs in the second Test match played at Edgbaston Ground in Birmingham. With this, the five-match series has been tied at 1-1.

On July 5,&nbsp; Day 4 of the <a href="https://grand11.in/cricket-breaking-news/eng-vs-ind-2nd-test-match-2025-dream11-prediction/2368" style="text-decoration:none">2nd test against England in Birmingham</a>.

<h2>Day 4 Summary</h2>

<h3>India&#39;s Dominant Batting Display</h3>
