After an 8-day break, the India vs England 5-match Test series will resume on July 2. The hosts are currently ahead, winning a hard-fought match at Headingley. But the visitors weren’t far away, despite playing with a newly assembled batting lineup. Despite this, the bowling and fielding were the weaker departments.
England is going unchanged, but India could make some tweaks. For starters, Jasprit Bumrah might be rested. Arshdeep Singh might make his Test debut. Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, or Nitish Kumar Reddy are in consideration. One or even two of them could play in Edgbaston.

Edgbaston Pitch Report
Traditionally, the Edgbaston pitch aids pacers in the first couple of days and then brings spinners into the game as we move on. However, this won’t be a traditional Birmingham surface. In the Bazball era, batting has become easier, and we can expect a pitch similar to the Headingley one.
Birmingham Weather Report
There is a 10 to 25% chance of rain during the five days of the second Test. July 4 to 6 are the most vulnerable days. We might see regular rain interruptions. Swing might come into play due to the clouds and winds bowling. Also, the pitch won’t deteriorate if it rains constantly.
Injury Updates
There are no injury issues for both teams. India might rest Jasprit Bumrah to manage his workload. England haven’t selected Jofra Archer, who played his first first-class match in over 4 years last month for Sussex.
