Tendulkar Trophy Test: Akash Deep and Washington Sundar picked crucial scalps after a long rain delay as India inched closer to a famous victory after reducing England to 153/6 in 40.3 overs at lunch on day five of second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Edgbaston.
With 455 runs still left for England to make, the responsibility lies on Jamie Smith, who’s unbeaten on 32, to try and not let India secure a series-levelling win, which will also be their first-ever Test victory at Edgbaston. With 55.3 overs left in the day, India will fancy their chances to take the remaining four wickets.
Akash kickstarted India’s path of victory by removing overnight batters Ollie Pope and Harry Brook in the early phase of morning session, before Washington’s dismissal of England skipper Ben Stokes on the stroke of lunch meant the visitors’ are well set to get a huge win.
