ENG vs IND 2nd Test Match：Day 5

Stumps：India beat England by 336 runs.

India came storming back in style at Edgbaston, thrashing England by 336 runs to level the series 1-1! With Jasprit Bumrah sitting this one out, it was Akash Deep who stepped into the spotlight, snagging a sensational 6-for-99 to wrap up England’s second innings and finishing the match with 10 wickets. Talk about a debut to remember! The real cherry on top? Shubman Gill, who not only scored 430 runs across both innings but also sealed the win by catching the final wicket. Captain, centurion twice, and now a match-winner—Gill is officially in beast mode.

Despite a late start due to rain on Day 5, India didn’t waste time. The bowlers, led by Akash Deep and supported by a spicy surface, tore through England’s batting. Jamie Smith gave it a go with a gritty 88, but even he couldn’t stop the inevitable. Washington Sundar got Stokes with a beauty, Siraj held on to a screamer, and the crowd? Absolutely loving it. England might’ve dreamed of chasing 608, but it was all India, all the way.

A historic win at Edgbaston 🙌#TeamIndia win the second Test by 336 runs and level the series 1-1 👍 👍

ENG vs IND 2nd Test Match：Day 4

Stumps：England need 536 runs to win.

England are in a bit of a pickle at Edgbaston, needing an eye-watering 536 runs on the final day to chase down a record-breaking target of 608 set by India. Shubman Gill was once again the star of the show, backing up his monstrous first-innings double century with a stylish 161 in the second. India finally declared, much later than expected, leaving England with a mountain to climb and very little climbing gear. Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj wasted no time chipping away at the top order, and by stumps, England had slumped to 72 for 3.

The fourth day felt like a masterclass in pressure-building from India, while England looked more puzzled than purposeful. Duckett fell to a peach from Akash, Root was cleaned up, and even the ever-steady Pope was fidgety under the lights. Meanwhile, Zak Crawley had a day to forget, dropping Pant early and then falling cheaply himself. With India needing just seven more wickets, and England needing… well, a miracle, all eyes are on Day 5 to see if this turns into a historic chase — or just a very long final innings.

ENG vs IND 2nd Test Match：Day 3

Stumps：India lead by 244 runs.

What a rollercoaster of a third day at Edgbaston! Mohammed Siraj came out breathing fire, knocking over Root and Stokes in back-to-back balls and finishing with a stunning 6-for. England were staring down the barrel at 84 for 5, but Jamie Smith (a jaw-dropping 184*) and Harry Brook (158) launched an epic counterattack. Their 303-run stand for the sixth wicket gave England hope and fans plenty to cheer. But just when things looked balanced, Akash Deep struck and England crumbled, losing 5 wickets for 20 runs.

India’s response? Smooth and steady. KL Rahul (28*) and Shreyas Iyer (7*) guided them to 64 for 1 at stumps, stretching the lead to 244. Despite some drama around a delayed review from Jaiswal, it’s India who hold all the cards. England’s brief resurgence was thrilling, but unless they pull off something miraculous, this match feels like it’s heading one way, and it’s not north.

ENG vs IND 2nd Test Match：Day 2

Stumps：England trail by 510 runs.

India dominated Day 2 of the second Test like a team with something to prove, and boy, did Shubman Gill make a statement. His effortless 269 lit up the scoreboard and rewrote the record books, becoming the highest Test score by an Indian captain. Not content with just the bat, Gill then leapt into the spotlight again with a stunning catch that sent Ben Duckett packing. It was the kind of day where everything clicked: Jadeja and Sundar backed Gill up with gritty partnerships, and England looked completely out of answers as India piled up a monstrous 587.

And when it was England’s turn with the bat? Let’s just say the top order didn’t stick around long. Akash Deep struck twice in two balls, Siraj added another, and suddenly England were 25 for 3, still trailing by over 500 runs. Brook and Root tried to stop the bleeding, with Brook swinging hard to survive until stumps, but the writing’s already on the wall. India’s game plan, stack the batting, unleash the bowlers, is working like a dream.

ENG vs IND 2nd Test Match：Day 1

Stumps：England chose to field.

India came out swinging in the second Test at Edgbaston, and leading the charge was none other than Shubman Gill. The young skipper silenced the critics—loudly—by anchoring the innings with a gutsy unbeaten 114. With star pacer Jasprit Bumrah resting (a decision that raised plenty of eyebrows), Gill took it upon himself to lead from the front. Backed up by Jaiswal’s classy 87 and Jadeja’s steady 41*, India ended the day at a promising 310 for 5. Despite England’s sharp bowling especially from Chris Woakes, who bagged 2 for 59—the visitors stayed solid, thanks to Gill’s patient grind and a couple of Joe Root offies that helped him accelerate at just the right time.

Jaiswal kept his streak alive with yet another fifty against England, effortlessly carving boundaries before a mistimed slash ended his stay. Rishabh Pant had a brief but wild cameo, while England’s quicks bowled with discipline under the sun. But through it all, Gill held firm. He didn’t just survive; he strategized, adapted, and waited to strike. As he and Jadeja return to the crease tomorrow, India will hope their skipper has more in the tank because while the lead isn’t massive yet, the tone has definitely been set.

England’s Key Players to Watch

• Joe Root (Batter) – Edgbaston has true bounce, and Root’s textbook technique helps him score big here. He averages over 60 at this ground.
• Ben Stokes (All-rounder, Captain) – His aggressive batting and ability to break partnerships with the ball make him a game-changer.
• Stuart Broad (Pacer) – Loves bowling here—his height gets extra bounce, and he can trouble India’s top order.
• Jonny Bairstow (WK/Batter) – When in form, he dominates attacks, and Edgbaston’s short boundaries suit his aggressive style.

India’s Key Players to Watch

• Virat Kohli (Batter) – Has a great record here (remember his 149 in 2018?). If the pitch has bounce, he’ll thrive.
• Jasprit Bumrah (Pacer) – His sharp bounce and reverse swing can be deadly, especially with older balls.
• Rishabh Pant (WK/Batter, if fit) – His counterattacking style can change the game in a session. Edgbaston’s quick outfield helps his aggressive shots.
• Mohammed Shami (Pacer) – His seam movement and ability to exploit uneven bounce make him a big threat.

ENG vs IND 2025 2nd Test – Venue: Edgbaston Stadium

Stadium Capacity: Approximately 25,000 spectators

Stadium Address: Edgbaston Rd, Birmingham B5 7QU, United Kingdom

Stadium Features: Located in Birmingham, England, Edgbaston Stadium was established and opened in 1882. However, it hosted its first international match only two decades later, in 1902. This delay was mainly because the ground initially started off as a small countryside venue, and only after multiple renovations and expansions did it meet the standards required for international fixtures.The very first international match held at Edgbaston was part of the iconic Ashes series between England and Australia. Since then, Edgbaston has become one of the regular venues for The Ashes.

One of the most notable aspects of Edgbaston is its electrifying crowd atmosphere. The fans here are known for their passionate support, and watching a match at Edgbaston often feels like the home side has a “12th man” on the field – such is the energy and involvement of the English supporters.
