India v England, 2nd Test: Akash Deep bowls India to 336-run win to level series 1-1

Dubai: Akash Deep took 10 wickets in a Test match for the first time as India thrashed England by 336 runs at Edgbaston on Sunday for a series-levelling win.

Deep, playing in the second Test after India rested Jasprit Bumrah, took 6-99 as England, set a mammoth 608 runs to win, were dismissed for 271 before tea on the fifth day.

India's pacer Akash Deep shone with the ball before Washington Sundar dismissed England captain Ben Stokes on the stroke of lunch as India were just four wickets away from a series-levelling win in the second Test at Edgbaston on Sunday.

England, set a mammoth 608 runs to win, were 153-6 at lunch on a rain-delayed fifth day, still needing a further 455 runs to record what would be a remarkable win.

Deep, only playing in Birmingham after India rested outstanding quick Jasprit Bumrah, struck two early blows Sunday by dismissing Ollie Pope and Harry Brook during a spell of 2-22 in six overs.

Deep now has eight wickets in the match - shared evenly between England's two innings.

It looked as if Stokes and first-innings century-maker Jamie Smith, who came together with England in trouble at 83-5, would then bat through until lunch.
