Bumrah will be back for Lord's as Gill confirmed. Archer was seen bowling earlier today. What a series we have in prospect as we go into the third Test. The only thing missing is a better balance between bat and ball. Let's see how that aspect turns out going forward. For now, India can revel in their achievement and they'll hope that this is the start of a glorious new era under a captain whose bat is doing all the talking. We'll see you again at Lord's in three days. That's it for now. It's a goodbye from Sagar Chawla on behalf of Siva and Raju Peethala.

Shubman Gill | Indian captain and Player of the Match: All the things we spoke about after the first game, we were spot on with all of those things. Our bowling and fielding was tremendous to see. On this kind of wicket, we knew if we get 400-500 on this kind of wicket, we'll be in the game. Not everytime we're going to drop that many catches that we did in Headingley. They (fast bowlers) were magnificent and I think the way we were able to get through the top-order, that was important to us, and both those bowlers bowled brilliantly and even Prasidh, he didn't get as many wickets as them, but he also bowled brilliantly. He (Akash Deep) bowled with so much heart. The areas and lengths he hit, he was getting the ball to move both ways. On wickets like these, it's difficult to do that, he was just magnificent for us. I'd say I'm feeling comfortable with my game, hopefully if we win the series with my contributions, I'll feel happier. Everyday is a learning curve for me. Whenever I go out there, I've said this before, I just want to play as a batsman and I want to think as a batsman and I want to make my decisions and risk management as a batsman. Sometimes when you are out there and thinking as a captain, you don't take that risks which I think as a batsman sometimes is necessary. Definitely (Bumrah back at Lord's?). Very excited for that (Lord's Test). Probably the most iconic cricket stadium in the world and as a kid everyone dreams about playing there and I think no bigger honour than to be able to captain your country and lead your team there.
Ben Stokes | England skipper: Tough one. Two moments. Having them at 200/5 and not being able to burst them open. And then being 80/5 in our reply to India's big 1st innings there is obviously going to be tough to be able to scrape it back from there. You look back at the start of the game, 200/5, if we were able to gets some wickets quicker, things could have been a little different. As the game got deeper and deeper, it sort of turned into a wicket, probably suited India more than us to be honest. Being 80/5 in reply to India's big first innings total is obviously going to be tough from there. We ran in and tried everything, we changed plans and when a team is on top of you, obviously India is a class team. It's always very hard to wrestle back when the opposition is full of world-class performers. Shubman has had an unbelievable game with the bat. It is always tough, when you do spend time out in the field, your body is tired and mind is tired. It's upto us individuals and as a team, try and get the best out of the situations. Jamie has been incredible since he came into the team, he has been exceptional with the bat and he goes massively into the radar with his wicket-keeping. Just shows that his natural game and the way him and Harry were able to wrestle the momentum back towards us, I thought it was very very special part of the game to watch from the dressing room. Been another tough week, spend some time in the field and bowlers have run in hard all week again. We got to reset on everything and see where we end up come Lord's.
All set for the presentations...
A stump each for Gill, Akash Deep and Siraj as souvenirs.
What a moment for Gill as well with his first Test win as captain. And hasn't he been just phenomenal with the bat, oozing class and control and making hundreds seem like an inevitability. A hundred in the first Test, a double hundred and hundred in the second, and having his career average jump from 35 to the 40s.
17:12 Local Time, 16:12 GMT, 21:42 IST: Akash Deep is immediately engulfed by his teammates as he takes the final wicket.
