India and England clash in the second Test of the Anderson‑Tendulkar Trophy at Edgbaston starting July 2, with a 1–0 lead for the hosts. Crucially, the toss looms large: overcast and moisture-heavy early conditions may favour the bowling side, while batting first under dry skies could prove advantageous. Historically, Edgbaston has produced mixed results with 19 wins for teams batting first and 23 for those bowling first. Notably, India have never won here since 1986 (7 losses, 1 draw), and past matches have seen par scores of roughly 302 in the first innings and 315 in the second, before the pitch flattens and favours spinners later on.
