Ind Vs Eng Destaques: Shubman Gill, Akash Deep e Mohammed Siraj Assist India conquistou uma vitória de 336 para nivelar a série em 1-1.
A record breaking Test match from Shubman Gill and some quality fast bowling by Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj ensured India clinched the 2nd test in Birmingham. Set a target of 608, England crumbled to 271 all out with Deep taking a fifer. The 336-run win meant that India have now levelled the series 1-1, heading to the 3rd Test at Lord’s.
Day 5 started with a delay after rain and a wet outfield cost India an hour of play. India had 80 overs to take 7 wickets but eventually did so with a session to spare. Deep bagged his maiden fifer in Tests, while Mohammed Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar were also amongst the wickets. Here are all the IND vs ENG 2nd Test Highlights:
Shubman Gill and a record breaking Test
If Leeds was a starting point, Shubman Gill really amped it up in Birmingham. Gill batted for more than 8 hours to stroke a patient yet fluent 269 to power India to 587. It is the highest score by an Indian captain in Tests, and the also the highest by any Indian in England. He followed it up with 161 in the second innings, helping India set a 608-run target. Gill aggregated 430 runs in the match, the second most ever in a Test match. Add to that a first win as Test captain, the 25-year-old would certainly be on Cloud 9.
Mohammed Siraj x Akash Deep: Bumrah’s absence negated
Of the 20 wickets India took in Birmingham, 17 belonged to their Siraj or Akash Deep. Bumrah’s absence was a huge talking point but both of India’s seamers delivered with career best figures. On a flat pitch, the duo put on a masterclass of seam bowling. Mohammed Siraj took 6/70 in the first innings, while Akash Deep got his own 6-wicket haul in the second innings. The Bengal pacer took 10 in the match, playing a key role in England’s downfall. He is only the second Indian bowler with a 10-fer in England after Chetan Sharma.
