8.4 to KL Rahul, Chopped on! Chris Woakes gets his rewards! Shorter side of good length outside off and it nips back in. Rahul brings his bat down late and can only deflect it onto the stumps! Woakes has asked a lot of questions in the last couple of overs, and finally makes the breakthrough. 15/1
61.4 to K Nitish Kumar Reddy, Left alone again, this one rattles off! Three-quarter length angling in and coming in off the seam, Reddy leaves it on line and both bails fly. Woakes could've had Nair lbw like that earlier, gets his man this time. 211/5
2438313.459811000
23.3 to KK Nair, hits his hard length, lobbed to second slip! Well bowled Brydon Carse! The energy he brings to his bowling rips out a well-set batter! Nair wasn't committed to the front foot, and didn't quite get back in time either, and paid the price as the ball got big on his splice. Brook made no mistake as the ball ballooned into his hands!. 95/2
28211924.2511016112
107.3 to RA Jadeja, the short ball has finally got Jadeja! Tongue charged in from around the wicket and dug it in, the ball got big on Jadeja as he jumped off his toes to try and fend it away, ended up gloving it in the air for a simple catch to Jamie Smith's right. 414/6
143.3 to Shubman Gill, short ball, patted to square leg! A tame way to go after a majestic innings from Gill. Tried to roll the wrists but it looped straight to the fielder. He looks disappointed - and tired - as he walks from the field, but he'll remember the ovation, from the both the crowd and the India balcony. The highest score by an India batter in England. Sets the game up perfectly for his side. 574/8
1907413.89707004
45.1 to YBK Jaiswal, has a hack at the wide one, Stokes has his man! The golden arm does it again! It was short, it was wide, it was a hit-me ball! Jaiswal sliced into the cut, found nothing but a fat edge to Smith, and look at Stokes go! He is utterly cock-a-hoop at that one! Huge moment!. 161/3
45216733.7116911510
60.1 to RR Pant, Pant holes out to long-on! Bashir has teased him out with a 74ks/46mph ball. Full on middle from around the wicket, Pant got leg side of the ball and muscled the on-drive. There was a mid-on in place and long-on was behind him, the latter had to run to the right for the catch. Crawley slid and took it with hands facing up. Pant getting the "cheerio, cheerio, cheerio" treatment from the Hollies, Matt says. 208/4
144.2 to Akash Deep, hits it down the throat of long-on! Deep is down on one knee to slam this towards the Wyatt Stand, but he doesn't get the connection and Duckett settles under a straightforward take a few yards in from the rope. 574/9
150.6 to Mohammed Siraj, stumped down the leg side! Siraj jumps down the pitch as Bashir lets go a carrom ball that pitches short and then slides past the batter, leaving him leaning on his bat as Smith completes the dismissal. England's toil is over, time for the batters to have their time in the sun. 587/10
502014.00224000
138.4 to Washington Sundar, Root's golden arm does the trick! Ripper! Zipped in full around off and Washington expected it to come in with the angle, but it spins away and clatters middle stump! Root is pumped, and well, it has been a frustrating day for them! Washington walks back, having missed out on his half-century. 558/7

2028844.40819116
2.4 to BM Duckett, edged and taken... brilliant from Gill! Big deflection as Duckett hangs his bat in the corridor and it flies off the outside edge. Gill has only just retaken the field, but springs to his left from third slip and bags a stunner. Both hands clasped around the ball, celebrates nonchalantly as his team-mates mob him. Akash's first over was loose, but he's bang on with his second. 13/1
2.5 to OJ Pope, two in two! Snaffled in the slips at the second attempt! India are cock-a-hoop as Rahul turns and grabs the ball that had just popped from his grasp. Full length, nips away just enough as Pope closes the face coming across on off. The edge again went quickly, Rahul is standing at second and missed it initially, but kept his composure to take the second chance. 13/2
82.2 to HC Brook, bowled 'im! Deep breaks the stand, he turns and checks for the no-ball... but it's okay! Excellent delivery, on a length and seaming back wickedly as Brook pushed forward, through the gap and clocking the top of off. Brook takes the applause from the Edgbaston crowd as he walks off. A brilliant innings finally ended by a brilliant ball from Akash Deep. 387/6
86.5 to CR Woakes, tempts the drive, edged to slip! Woakes won't be breaking the Warks hundred hoodoo at Edgbaston. Pitched up on an inviting line, kisses the outside edge and loops through to Nair, who stoops to hold another good catch at first slip. Fourth of the innings for Akash Deep, his best Test return. 395/7
19.337063.58838104
7.1 to Z Crawley, Now Siraj joins the party! Crawley has a late push away from his body and gets a thick edge that goes straight to Karun Nair at first slip! This was on the fuller side of good length outside off and shaping away and Crawley poked at it. Siraj angrily punches the air, with India smelling an opening!. 25/3
21.3 to JE Root, tickled down the leg side - Root uprooted in the second over! Perfect start for India, umpire Saikat's finger goes up as Siraj wheels away in celebration. Root looks disconsolate but won't be reviewing. Just a scratch as he attempted a leg glance, Pant taking it cleanly going to his left. England's best batter trudges from the field with his team four down and in a mighty hole. 84/4
21.4 to BA Stokes, snorter, edged behind first ball! Stokes puts his dukes up but can't fend off the knockout blow. Two in two for the second time in the match and England are slumped on the ropes. Superb from Siraj. Banged in short, climbing and decking across the left-hander. Grazes the shoulder of the bat through to Pant, and Stokes has to go. 84/5
87.5 to BA Carse, length ball, scuds into bat and pad as Carse defends... not given by umpire Saikat, but India review. Siraj is convinced this was pad first, and UltraEdge backs him up. Was it in line? Yes! Three reds, hitting middle stump! The decision is overturned and India have another. Fourth duck of the England innings. And fourth wicket for Siraj, whose been unflagging in his efforts. 396/8
89.1 to JC Tongue, full, straight, trapped in front! Sharfuddoula agrees with the appeal and Siraj has five... although Tongue has asked for a review. No bat and this looks salmon and trout, to me. Yep, struck in line with middle, smashing into leg stump. Another crispy duck added to the England card. 407/9
89.3 to Shoaib Bashir, Knocks him over as Bashir leaves! Siraj has six and India seal a 180-run first-innings lead. Another duck, as Jamie Smith is stranded on 184 not out. This was on a length outside off and Bashir pressed across and shouldered arms but it nipped back in to hit top of off. Siraj leads the team off the field. 407/10

20.6 to KK Nair, This time the edge is snaffled up! Carse is rewarded for a good spell! Draws him into the drive with a full ball outside off. The ball just straightens enough to deceive Nair, who was looking for another cover drive and he can only nick it behind. Good catch by Smith, who threw himself to his right. 96/2
1529326.20539510
7.4 to YBK Jaiswal, The finger goes up! And Jaiswal reviews after a long, long debate with Rahul. Stokes is trying to tell the umpires they ran out of time! Drama at Edgbaston. The umpires are now having a check about the timing of the review. The review stands. This was a length ball just outside off and swinging in to hit the front pad as Jaiswal misses the line with his flick. Looks pretty out to me. And that's hitting leg stump and Jaiswal has to walk! And India lose a review, so maybe Stokes won't mind it too much? It's taken Josh Tongue, who went wicketless for long parts in the first innings, four balls to make a difference in this one!. 51/1
29.1 to KL Rahul, splat! What a ball, what a splintering of his stumps! Full, fast, angled in, and maybe nipping away just a fraction, though Rahul seemed not to pick up the very full length, as he played across the line. Middle stump is flattened, and England have their breakthrough. 126/3
712603.71252000
26111924.578910310
46.2 to RR Pant, Bat's out of Pant's hands and the ball is in deep mid-off's hands! Pant walks off after yet another thrilling knock! Dances down to this full ball and launches it down the ground, while the bat gets launched towards square leg midwicket, where Carse nearly catches that as well!. Duckett makes no mistake with Pant not getting the distance he would want. India, effectively, 416 for 4. 236/4
80.5 to Shubman Gill, Lobs up in the air and Bashir runs in to take it! A fine innings ends for Gill, who walks off to applause again. 161 off 162 is a stunning knock to follow his 269! Gill was looking to work this length ball leg side and the ball balloons up off the top edge. Bashir runs to the short cover region and grabs it up.. 411/5
916517.22296401
81.1 to K Nitish Kumar Reddy, NKR is caught at long-off! Tossed up outside off and Reddy looks to go down the ground. Crawley with a good grab falling in front. A Test to forget for the youngster. 412/6

4.3 to BM Duckett, bowled him! What a stunning reply from Deep! Round the wicket, perfect length, angled in, Duckett leans forward but can't account for the nip off the seam. An inside-edge rips off his splice and into the stumps! England's innings is heading south once again! The stump has been smashed in the process, which will make for a nice trophy!. 30/2
10.2 to JE Root, wider on the crease, and that is simply magnificent! Pitched on an attacking full length, nipped away, beat the outside edge as Root played the initial line and had no response to a world-class piece of bowling! His stumps are splintered. Akash points to his badge, on his watch, India are romping to 1-1!. 50/3
19.1 to OJ Pope, bowled him, Pope plays on! He lingers and looks at the broken wicket disconsolately. Huge cheers in the crowd for Akash's third of the innings, what a game he's having! Extra bounce again, this actually beat the bat and hit him on the glove/forearm, before cannoning down into middle and off. Early breakthrough for India, just what the doctor ordered. 80/4
21.3 to HC Brook, stays low, hit on the back knee - given! Brook is in a complete tangle here, but asks for the review nevertheless! How optimistic is this? Very! Umpire's call on the top of middle stump! Seaming in, maybe via some assistance from the fifth-day deck, and Akash has another. Gill and India can celebrate again. England's two overnight batters dislodged in just 25 minutes of play. 83/5
55.4 to JL Smith, Got him! Akash Deep has his maiden Test five-for! The short ball ploy does work eventually as this one is an offcutter outside off. Smith is done in by the slower ball and gets a top edge that Washington Sundar snaffles moving to his right from deep backward square! India are two away!. 226/8
68.1 to BA Carse, In the air, and it's taken at cover, poetically by Shubman Gill! India have their first ever win at Edgbaston, as Akash Deep completes a ten-wicket haul for the match! India were under pressure after losing an unloseable Test, they were under pressure for their team selection. They were questioned for letting Jamie Smith and Harry Brook add 303 runs in England's first innings. They were questioned for their scoring rate and timing of declaration. And in the end, they have come out and recorded their biggest away win in terms of runs, and Shubman Gill has his first win as a Test captain! Carse looks to take on a back of length delivery outside off. Bat turns in his hands as the ball balloons up, and Shubman Gill adds the finishing touches to a Test he has owned!. 271/10
1235714.755110011
1.4 to Z Crawley, loose drive, straight to backward point! A seventh duck for England in this wild Test match! Wide line, he went at it with hard hands, but it skewed off the edge, straight into the buckets of the substitute Sai Sudharshan. Duckett's free-wheeling lured him out of that bunker he'd been in in the first over. 11/1
1423912.78705111
52.1 to CR Woakes, plopped to midwicket! Siraj pouches the catch and then leans back with arms spread to take the applause. Prasidh strikes, winkling out Woakes with the short ball, top-edged tamely as he looked to pull. Another year without a Warwickshire batter making a hundred at Edgbaston. India three away. 199/7
1544012.66716000
63.5 to JC Tongue, Siraj has held on to a screamer! Tongue looks to whip away this full ball on leg and Siraj at midwicket dives to his right, and grabs it one handed at full stretch, parrallel to the groun! He just stays on the ground as he is mobbed by his team-mates! Took Tongue a few seconds to realise that Siraj held on to that! And I don't blame him! And Tongue can't help but smile as he walks off. 246/9
622814.66252200
40.3 to BA Stokes, Trapped in front! Washington thinks he has his man and so does the umpire! Stokes reviews Was that pad first? Tossed up full around off and it goes on with the angle. And Stokes' bat was well behind pad! And that looks plumb! Plumb indeed as it's shown to be crashing into top of middle! India have Stokes at the stroke of lunch! Huge blow for the hosts!. 153/6
