    BBC Test Match Special: After England suffered a crushing 336-run defeat to India in the second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Edgbaston, head coach Brendon McCullum admitted that the hosts weren’t able to play in the way they wanted, adding that they also missed an opportunity at toss time.

    Chasing a record 608, Stokes & Co tried putting up a resistance, but were bowled out for 271 with more than a session’s play left on day five. India’s series-levelling win was established by captain Shubman Gill making 269 and 161 while Akash Deep had a match haul of ten wickets.

    "We ran second for five days. I thought India played exceptionally well. Shubman Gill was at an elite level and played brilliantly on this pitch. We weren’t quite able to play how we wanted to on it and they thoroughly deserved to win.
