The 28-year-old took 6-99 as England, set a mammoth 608 runs to win, were dismissed for 271 on the fifth day. Deep`s match figures of 10-147 were far and away the best of his eight-Test career. Jamie Smith was the lone England batsman to pass fifty in the second innings, with an 88 that followed his brilliant 184 not out first time around

A crushing victory gave India their maiden Test win in nine matches at Edgbaston, following seven defeats and a draw at the Birmingham ground. The game was also a personal triumph for India captain Shubman Gill who became the first batsman in Test cricket to post scores of 250 and 150 in the same match

4/6
The 25-year-old`s majestic 269 in the first innings was followed by a dashing 161 off 162 balls in the second. Gill has scored three hundreds in his first two Tests as captain following his 147 during India`s five-wicket loss in the series opener at Headingley, where his side dropped several catches

Deep and new-ball partner Siraj were more effective than England`s quicks, with the hosts missing the express pace provided by the injury-prone duo of Jofra Archer and Mark Wood. History was against England when they resumed at 72-3 after rain delayed Sunday`s start by more than 90 minutes. No Test side have made more in the fourth innings to win than the West Indies` 418 against Australia at St John`s in 2003

6/6
Indian fans seized every chance to cheer the loudest for their side, rising to applaud each English wicket and every boundary struck by the Indian batsmen
