**Edgbaston, UK** – India dominated Day 3 of the second Test against England at Edgbaston, fueled by a sensational six-wicket haul from Mohammed Siraj and a record-breaking feat by Yashasvi Jaiswal.

Siraj’s fiery spell ripped through the English batting lineup, taking 6 wickets for 70 runs. A video montage released by broadcasters captured Siraj’s impactful performance. After initially reducing England to 84/5, Siraj returned with the new ball to dismantle the tail end of the England batting order.

Adding to India’s triumph, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal equaled the record for the fastest Indian to reach 2,000 Test runs, achieving the milestone in just 40 innings, alongside legends Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag. He also broke Sunil Gavaskar’s 49-year-old record by reaching the landmark in his 21st Test match.

Despite a strong fightback from England’s Harry Brook (158) and Jamie Smith (184*), whose 303-run partnership threatened to shift the momentum, a late-innings collapse saw England lose their last five wickets for just 20 runs, finishing all out for 407. This was in response to India’s first innings total of 587. Akash Deep also shone, taking 4 wickets.

At stumps, India stood at 64 for 1 in their second innings, with KL Rahul (28*) and Karun Nair (7*) at the crease. India’s overall lead sits at 244. The team looks to build on their advantage to set England a formidable target in the fourth innings.
