India levels Test series with dominant win over England led by Akash Deep's six wickets

They came, they saw, they conquered. India surged to a 336-run victory over England on the final day at Edgbaston, leveling the five-match series at one apiece. Shubman Gill led the charge with 430 runs and his first win as Test captain.

Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum have much to ponder as England was outperformed in all aspects, eventually bowled out for 271 chasing an improbable 608-run target. Akash Deep's stellar bowling performance, claiming six wickets, was instrumental in India's dominance.

Gill's exceptional batting display earned him the player of the match award, overshadowing England's struggles with seven ducks in two innings. Jamie Smith's valiant efforts were in vain as India sealed the victory with a strong bowling display.

The match saw a delayed start due to rain, but once play began, India's bowlers dismantled England's batting lineup. Deep's impactful bowling set the tone for India's victory, with England unable to mount a significant challenge.

India's triumph at Edgbaston was a result of all-round excellence, with standout performances from Gill and Deep. The series now moves to Lord's for the third Test, promising more thrilling cricket action.
