Akash Deep took six wickets as India crushed England by 336 runs to level the series at 1-1 on Sunday (July 6) after they bowled out the hosts for 271 to claim their first test victory at Edgbaston and Shubman Gill's first win as captain.

A devastating spell from Akash Deep left England teetering on 153-6 chasing an unlikely 608 for victory on the final day of the second test on Sunday, with India needing four more wickets to secure their first test win at Edgbaston.

So much for India being in trouble without Jasprit Bumrah. With the team's star pace bowler given a rest, Akash Deep — Bumrah's replacement — was the unlikely inspiration behind India's dominant, series-tying 336-run win over England just before tea on Day 5 of the second test at Edgbaston on Sunday.
