India routed England at Edgbaston to register their first win of the 2025-27 World Test Championship. Here's what the points table looks like after the second England-India Test.
Trailing 0-1, India bounced back in the series with a 336-run victory. Captain Shubman Gill (269 and 161) spearheaded India’s batting dominance, powering them to totals of 587 and 427-6 declared in the first and second innings, respectively.

India faced criticism for their late declaration on day four, but memories of Headingley – where England completed their second-highest fourth-innings chase – prompted caution. The visitors eventually set a daunting 608-run target, declaring only after ruling out any real chance of a loss.
By the dying stages of day four, India struck thrice, reducing England to 50-3. Despite rain delaying the start of day five, England were bowled out for 271, crumbling under the weight of the mammoth target.
After Mohammed Siraj starred with a six-wicket haul in the first innings for India, Akash Deep stood up in the second, claiming another six-for.
