IND vs ENG Highlights, 2nd Test Match Day 5: India crush England by 336 runs to seal first-ever Test win at Edgbaston, level series 1-1
IND vs ENG Live Score: India seal first-ever win at Edgbaston with record margin
For the first time ever, India have defeated England at Birmingham’s Edgbaston, and they did it in truly dominant style.
The 336-run win is now India’s biggest-ever victory by runs in an away Test match, underlining just how ruthless Shubman Gill’s side were over five days of top-class cricket.
Leading from the front, Gill not only registered his first-ever Test win as captain but did it while being the top run-scorer of the match. His stunning knocks of 269 and 161 powered India to an unbeatable position and gave the bowlers the cushion to attack relentlessly.
Akash Deep’s dream debut, a disciplined show by Siraj and Sundar, Jadeja’s clever spells and some sharp catching made sure England were always on the back foot.
After a tough loss in the first Test, India have bounced back in style to level the series 1-1. With Jasprit Bumrah set to return for the next clash at Lord’s, this series is perfectly set up for another classic.
A special win, a statement performance and a captain leading with his bat. Birmingham 2025 will be remembered for a long, long time

IND vs ENG Live Score: Shubman Gill on bowling tactics
Shubman Gill: “When the ball becomes soft, the most important thing is to stop the runs. It’ll be easier to get wickets with the second new ball.
I wanted to take a risk when they were five down in the first innings with the short stuff, but we leaked runs there.”
