2nd Test: India Brace Rain Threat To Level Series At Edgbaston On Final Day

By IANS News July 06, 2025 • 14:48 PM View: 405

With India: Ahead of the all-important fifth day of the second Test between India and England at Edgbaston, Birmingham received morning showers just hours before the start of play on Sunday.

With India looking to level the series on the fifth day, rain poses a big threat to India's ambition of winning the clash. The visiting pacers rattled England’s top order, leaving the hosts with a mountain to climb on the final day.

Heading into Day 5, India are in a commanding position, with England still requiring 536 runs to chase down a mammoth target of 608 in Birmingham.
