When: England vs India, 2nd Test, July 2-6 2025, 15:30 IST, 11:00 Local

Where: Edgbaston, Birmingham

What to expect: Birmingham has basked in sunshine in the lead-up, but the pitch tells a layered story. There was 11mm of grass two days out, yet the surface underneath is dry. Expect big first-innings runs - just like at Headingley and in most recent County game here earlier this month. Spin hasn't thrived here in the Bazball era (second-lowest strike rate), but off-spinners in general have bucked that trend: Nathan Lyon and Moeen Ali made an impact in the 2023 Ashes opener, and R Ashwin starred here in 2018. There's some light rain in the forecast on Days 1, 4 and 5, but nothing too disruptive.

Team News:

England

The hosts have opted to stick with the XI that won them the Leeds opener. So that means, no Test return just yet for Jofra Archer, but he will continue to stick around the group this weekend to get a feel of the vibe of Test cricket.

Playing XI: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Jamie Smith (wk), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, Shoaib Bashir

India

If Bumrah does sit this one out, Akash Deep appears the likeliest from the next batch to step in. He bowled with control and heart in Australia, even if the returns didn't come. He's expected to join Siraj and Prasidh Krishna in the pace attack. India are also likely to make a change at No.8 after Shardul Thakur's cold returns in Leeds. A two-spinner setup is under serious consideration, though the second spinner may not be Kuldeep Yadav. Washington Sundar is being looked at as a more rounded option at No.8, especially with offspinners having enjoyed recent success at Edgbaston.

Probable XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Karun Nair, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar/Nitish Kumar Reddy, Akash Deep/Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna
