IND vs ENG 2nd Test 2025: Date, Time, Venue And Live Streaming Details
After suffering a 5-wicket loss in the opening Test at Leeds—despite setting a target of 371—Team India is now focused on making a comeback in the second Test of the five-match series. The crucial match will be played from July 2 to July 6 at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
What to Expect at Edgbaston?
Edgbaston has seen a shift in recent trends. While batters find assistance early on, teams batting second have won four of the last five Tests here. India’s own record is concerning—they lost by 7 wickets at this venue in 2022. Spin and reverse swing could come into play as the match progresses.
Possible Changes in India’s Line-up
All-rounder Shardul Thakur’s underwhelming performance in Leeds may open the door for Nitish Kumar Reddy, who impressed during the Australia tour. Alternatively, Arshdeep Singh could be considered to add left-arm pace variety. There’s also uncertainty around Jasprit Bumrah’s availability, as he's expected to be rotated during the series.
