India will look to bounce back and level the series when they take on England in the second Test at Edgbaston Stadium from July 2, aiming to avenge their opening defeat. Check the predicted playing XIs for the India vs England 2nd Test here.
The second Test is already a concern for India, with Jasprit Bumrah likely to miss the Edgbaston clash. The team management has confirmed he’ll play only three of the five Tests due to workload management, though specific matches weren’t named.
Bumrah bowled nearly 44 overs in the Leeds Test, taking a five-wicket haul in the first innings but going wicketless in the second.
England will be boosted by Jofra Archer’s return for the second Test at Edgbaston. The 30-year-old pacer is back in the squad for the first time since 2021 and will look to add to his 13 Test caps.
