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

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

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
