BBC Test Match SpecialI do think that India threw it away in their second innings not setting England 400-450 but I'm now thinking it wouldn't have made a difference.

We were optimistic last night. We were optimistic this morning.
But did we think it would happen like that?
The dominance, the confidence, the positivity. Unbelievable.

Former England batter on BBC Test Match SpecialIt was an incredibly entertaining Test match with history being witnessed. The scary thing is that they chased it down with all three wickets down - you start to wonder what is possible. I am excited and scared.
We were going backwards over the winter but there has been some good decisions made. We have to mention Rob Key.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialWhat a scene. Three months ago this was a team that didn't believe it could beat anyone. They have trounced the world champions 3-0 and they've now beaten India and equalled the series. It is a remarkable turnaround. The fear of failure has been eliminated.

All done by midday.
As if it was nothing. This has been, quite simply, magnificent.
Root and Bairstow raise their bats to the crowd and soak up the Edgbaston roar.

BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match SpecialJoe Root punched the air before Jonny Bairstow did then! He is now running down to the other end to celebrate with Bairstow.
Bairstow has scored a century in each innings. He has scored four in five innings. It is remarkable.
100 for Jonny Bairstowpublished at 75 overs
Need 21 runs to win
There it is!!!
Clipped into the leg side for a single, there's a bit of calamity as the umpires check for a run out but Jonny doesn't even pay any notice, he's off!
Arms raised, bat aloft, the glance up to the sky. A huge embrace from Joe Root.
What an innings. What a summer. What a man.
