India is in a very strong position in the second Test match at Edgbaston, Birmingham on July 5, 2025, India needs seven wickets to win the 1st Test match against England.
England is chasing a tough target of 608 runs set by India and England was 72/3 at the end of the fourth day’s play.
On the 5th day, India’s bowlers, led by Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep, will try for a historic victory at Edgbaston India is in a good position in the match. India has not come very close to registering such a one-sided victory in the last eight Test matches.
Shubman Gill’s brilliant 269/161 and a team lead of over 600 runs have put India in control of the match, But England’s “Bazball” approach to the game means they can still make a comeback. For them, Harry Brook and Jamie Smith put on a partnership of 84-5 to 303 in just 61 overs in the first innings. With rain forecast for the final day, the weather could be a hindrance to India’s victory.
If we talk about the probable outcome, then 90% India win and 10% draw can be expected. It will take a miracle if the match goes to England’s court, barring these two outcomes.
Because maintaining an average of 6 runs for 90 consecutive overs is extremely difficult. That too when you have lost 3 batsmen and your hopes are resting on the remaining 3 batsmen.
