The young right-hander continued his fine form, scoring a composed 45 to help India recover from a disastrous start after skipper Ayush Mhatre was dismissed for a golden duck.
Watch:
Alongside Suryavanshi, Vihaan Malhotra (49), Rahul Kumar (47), Kanishk Chouhan (45), and Abhigyan Kundu (32) all chipped in with useful contributions, guiding India to a competitive total of 290 in 49 overs.
England's bowlers were far from disciplined, leaking 32 extras, including a staggering 26 wides. Still, AM French led the way with 4 for 71, while Jack Home (3/63) and Alex Green (3/50) shared the rest of the spoils.
The chase, however, proved to be a rollercoaster. England stumbled early at 7 for 1 and later 47 for 3, with medium pacer RS Ambrish striking twice in quick succession.

Do you think India's batting lineup can bounce back in the next match?
Yes, they will perform better
No, they will struggle again
But a magnificent counterattack from England captain Thomas Rew, who hammered 131 off just 89 balls (16 fours, 6 sixes), turned the tide.
His 123-run stand with Rocky Flintoff (39) laid the foundation, but once Rew fell in the 40th over, the match swung back toward India.
With England reduced to 254 for 8 by the 46th over, Ambrish (4/80) reignited hopes for India. England needed seven off the final over, and with only one wicket in hand, the game hung on a knife's edge. But Sebastian Morgan (20 not out) held his nerve, striking a boundary off the third ball of Yudhajit Guha's over to seal a heart-stopping win.
Though India were left to rue missed chances, Suryavanshi's consistency at the top continues to be a bright spot. As the series heads into the third match, India will look to regroup and lean on their in-form opener to regain the lead.

‘I'm a little baffled that Kuldeep Yadav wasn't picked': Sunil Gavaskar slams Indian team management over leg-spinner's exclusion
With Indian team management not picking up spinner Kuldeep Yadav for the second Test against England at Edgbaston, it meant that the 30-year-old spinner would miss a Test in England for the second successive time. The spinner was excluded from the playing XI with the Indian team management preferring all-rounder Washington Sundar as the second spinner in the team besides Ravindra Jadeja and former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar has termed Yadav's exclusion as baffling. 'I'm a little baffled that Kuldeep wasn't picked, because on a pitch like this, where everybody says there's a little more turn.' Gavaskar said while commentating on Sony Sports. Shubman Gill led Indian team made three changes in the side, which played in the five-wicket loss against England in the first Test against England at Leeds. With Sai Sudarshan being dropped along with Shardul Thakur, the Indian team management also went with the decision to rest Jasprit Bumrah. Along with all-round Nitish Kumar Reddy, pacer Akash Deep and Sundar were included in the playing XI for the second Test. With five centuries coming from an Indian batsman in the opening Test at Leeds, Gavaskar shared India needed to strengthen the wicket-taking department. 'If your top-order batters are not giving you the runs you expect, then Washington at seven or Nitish Reddy at eight won't necessarily fix that, because those weren't the batters who failed you in the first Test. You scored 830 runs. You didn't score 380 in two innings — it was 830-plus. That's a lot of runs. So, where you needed strengthening was in the wicket-taking department, not so much in the batting,' Gavaskar added. Former England pacer Stuart Broad termed the decision to rest Jasprit Bumrah as a surprising decision. 'A week is a very good time off for a fast bowler. Bumrah's (Jasprit) omission does surprise me and what also surprised me was him saying before the series he will only play three of the five Tests. You keep those cards close to your chest and play each week as it comes. They will definitely want Bumrah at Lord's because of the movement you can get through the air, so can they risk him here?' Broad told Sky Sports during commentary.

‘You don't want to hear from me': Watch Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ben Stokes exchange heated words during IND vs ENG 2nd Test
Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal and England captain Ben Stokes shared a few words in the middle during the India vs England 2nd Test at Edgbaston on Wednesday. The incident happened during India's batting when Jaiswal was completing a run with Stokes saying something to the Indian batter when he reached the non-striker's end. To which Jaiswal replied, 'You don't want to hear from me, come on.' The matter stopped there before it reignited in the same over with Stokes again saying something to Jaiswal to rile the batter up. However, that wouldn't do much to rattle the batter with Jaiswal reaching 50 in the very next over. Stokes, meanwhile, would finally get his man in the 46th over when Jaiswal tried to play a cut, got a faint edge and was gobbled up by Jamie Smith behind the stumps. Some heated JAISBALL 🆚 BAZBALL on display! 👀#ENGvIND 👉 2nd Test, Day 1 | LIVE NOW on JioHotstar ➡ — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) July 2, 2025 Elsewhere, captain Shubman Gill looked comfortable in the middle alongside his deputy Rishabh Pant on another good batting surface in the five-match series. Stokes, who has a knack of picking up wickets out of nowhere, had Jaiswal caught behind off a short and wide delivery. Jaiswal perhaps went too hard at the ball only to offer a simple catch to Jamie Smith behind stumps. With not much happening in the session, the English fans in the iconic Eric Hollies Stand sporadically made plenty of noise to push the home team. India added 84 runs in 28 wickets in the session for the loss of Jaiswal. In the 34th over, Gill survived a DRS lbw call off a Brydon Carse nip backer due to an inside edge. Against the sole spinner Shoaib Bashir, Gill stepped out from time to time and on one occasion dispatched him over extra cover. Pant joined him late in the session and took his time to settle down before using his feet against Bashir for a six over mid-on. Earlier, Jaiswal maintained his aggression despite being tested by the England pacers while Karun Nair (31 off 50) showed promise at number three before being dismissed late in the morning session. Considering the overhead conditions, Stokes opted to bowl but Jaiswal and Nair did well to survive the tough period. In the first hour, KL Rahul (2 off 26), played on to the stumps off a Chris Woakes delivery before Jaiswal-Nair duo added 80 for the second wicket. (With agency inputs)
