Akash Deep strikes twice, Eng crumble at lunch

Birmingham, July 6 (UNI) India closed in on victory in the second Test at EDGBASTON today as England collapsed to 153 for 6 at lunch on Day 5, still requiring an improbable 455 more runs to win with just 55.3 overs remaining in the match.
Despite several rain breaks and delays due to a wet outfield early in the day, India’s bowlers seized control once play resumed.
Akash Deep led the charge with an inspired spell that broke the English backbone. The pacer first struck in the 19th over, removing Ollie Pope for 24 with a sharp delivery that reared awkwardly and deflected onto the stumps. Two overs later, he trapped Harry Brook LBW with a fierce nip-backer — a decision upheld on review as the ball was shown to be clipping the top of middle.
