India, July 5 -- Harry Brook and Jamie Smith were threatening to take the game away as England staged a remarkable comeback owing to the duo's 303-run stand for the sixth wicket in the first innings of the second Test against India at Edgbaston, Birmingham. However, the introduction of the second new ball paid off for India as Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj cleaned up England's tail in no time. Siraj was the pick of the Indian bowlers as he returned with six wickets.
