India and England clash in the 2nd Test at Edgbaston starting July 2. After a thrilling first Test in Leeds, where India amassed almost 850 runs but succumbed to England’s chase of 371 both sides seek redemption. India’s top order delivered, with KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Rishabh Pant (twin centuries!) shining, though batting depth and fielding lapses cost them. A pivotal selection battle is on, Kuldeep Yadav versus Washington Sundar for the second spinner slot behind Jadeja. Jasprit Bumrah’s availability is uncertain. England, buoyed by staunch seam bowling led by Chris Woakes and the absence of Archer, look to sustain momentum. Edgbaston, a venue where India has never won, promises another fiercely competitive Test. (PC: Crictoday & Sportskeeda)
