The second Test of the India vs. England series, part of the 2025-27 ICC World Test Championship, begins July 2, 2025, at Edgbaston, Birmingham.

After England's stunning chase of 371 in the first Test at Leeds, India, led by Shubman Gill, face pressure to regroup. Jasprit Bumrah's likely absence due to workload management is a blow, with Akash Deep expected to step in alongside Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna.

India may opt for a two-spinner strategy, potentially including Washington Sundar or Kuldeep Yadav, given Edgbaston's recent spin-friendly history. England, sticking with their winning XI, will rely on Ben Duckett, Joe Root, and Ben Stokes' aggressive approach. The pitch promises big first-innings runs, with light rain possible. India's challenge lies in improving their bowling and fielding after six dropped catches in Leeds. Expect a high-scoring, intense battle as India aim to level the series.

It will be a massive test for the visitors as they lookfor parity in the series. India, having already trailing 0-1, need to avoid defeat as it will be pivotal for them. Edgbaston has not been a happy hunting ground for the Indian team as they are yet to win a Test at the venue in 8 attempts.
