Key Stats
54.2 Ben Stokes to Hardik Pandya
OUT! Caught. Ben Stokes to Hardik Pandya. Length ball, outside off stump on the front foot pushing, outside edge to first slip, by Cook. Gobbled up at first slip, England have done it. Stokes is the hero, he loves the big occasion and drinks in the moment with his teammates. What an amazing Test match it has been. Wow. We have witnessed one of the great Test matches over the last few days in Birmingham. With more see-sawing back and forth than a children's playground, it has been impossible to predict and completely engrossing. The match situation was on a knife-edge this morning, but Jimmy Anderson swung the pendulum in England's favour with a wicket in the opening over. A double-wicket maiden from Ben Stokes, including the wicket of the sensational Virat Kohli, whipped the Edgbaston crowd into a frenzy and from there it was always going to be tough for the tourists. Adil Rashid snared Ishant Sharma with a googly before the enigmatic Durham allrounder sealed the victory with his fourth wicket of the innings. Commiserations to India, this will be a very difficult defeat to take but they have played their part in a fantastic contest. They will need to regroup and come back hard at Lord's in the Second Test, which starts on Thursday. Let's hope we have more of the same gripping action there and in the rest of the series.

49.6 Adil Rashid to Ishant Sharma
OUT! L.B.W. NOT OUT changed by umpire to OUT after REFERRAL. Adil Rashid to Ishant Sharma. Googly length ball, outside off stump on the front foot defending, hit pad to. Massive appeal, England are pleading with the umpire to give this but Gaffaney is unmoved. Rashid tells his skipper straight away to review it, he is very confident. Ishant didn't pick the googly, just like in the first innings, but he did get a big stride forward. There's no inside edge, and ball tracking has it crashing into the sticks so England celebrate once more. Just one wicket needed for victory now, all of India's hopes rest on Pandya.

46.6 Ben Stokes to Mohammed Shami
OUT! Caught. Ben Stokes to Mohammed Shami. In-swinging length ball, outside off stump no foot movement defending, outside edge to wicketkeeper, by Bairstow. Got him, Ben Stokes charges away in celebration as the noise levels in Birmingham go off the scale. What a moment to produce a double-wicket maiden, evoking memories of Flintoff and Harmison at this same ground in 2005. This delivery was far too good for Shami who just poked at it more out of hope than expectation, and Bairstow does the rest with his fifth catch of the innings. An inspired over, one for the history books.

OUT! L.B.W. Verified by umpire after REFERRAL. Ben Stokes to Virat Kohli. In-swinging length ball, outside off stump on the front foot flick, hit pad to. Cannons into the pad, vociferous appeal and the finger is raised - Edgbaston erupts, Stokes has got the vital wicket. Kohli is left with no choice but to review, but that looked absolutely stone dead. Stokes hoops this one back into the Indian skipper who misses playing around his front pad, and the ball would've smashed into the leg stump. Unbelievable drama, Kohli walks off to rapturous applause, he's had an amazing Test match but can't see India over the line. Over to the bowlers with the bat.
