Second IND vs ENG Test Set to Begin on July 2 at Edgbaston. The second Test of the ongoing five-match series between India and England is scheduled to begin on July 2 at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Both teams are gearing up for another intense battle in the race for the prestigious Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
England, the hosts, have retained their playing XI from the first Test at Headingley, where Ben Stokes and his team secured a five-wicket victory. Despite a less-than-dominant bowling performance, England managed to clinch the win thanks to a stellar display with the bat.
India posted impressive totals of 471 and 364 in their two innings, with four of their batters registering centuries. However, England countered strongly—Ollie Pope struck a vital century in the first innings, while Ben Duckett’s brilliant 149-run knock in the second innings guided England to a successful chase of the 371-run target.
While England’s batting appears solid, their bowling unit will need to step up and deliver a more impactful performance in the upcoming Test.
Speaking of Shubman Gill and his teammates, they will be eager to create history at Edgbaston in the second Test by securing India’s first-ever victory at the venue. Remarkably, India have never won a Test match at Edgbaston, having lost seven of their eight encounters there, with one ending in a draw.
While India are expected to stick with their current batting line-up for the second Test, a few changes in the bowling department seem likely.
