IND vs ENG Weather Report and Pitch Report Of Edgbaston, Birmingham- 2nd Test, India Tour of England 2025:

IND vs ENG Pitch Report of Edgbaston:
The surface at Birmingham has traditionally had a bit of help for the bowlers, especially in the morning session on each of the five days.
Generally, the team that wins the toss looks to bowl first as batting becomes a bit easy on the fourth and fifth day of the match.
Like in the longest format of the game first innings lead will play a crucial role in determining the direction in which the match is heading.
The average first innings total at this venue happens to be 302, which means that a team needs to score 340-350 runs to make a match out of it.
The venue has hosted 60 Test matches, 19 of which have been won by the team that bats first, while 23 have been won by the chasing team.
India is yet to win a Test match that they have played at Edgbaston and would want to register their first win at this venue in the longest format of the game.
England, on the other hand, is playing a different brand of cricket, especially in Test matches since 2022, and hasn't lost a series at home in the last three years.
The above-mentioned fact is reiterated by the evidence that two of England's top three highest successful run chases in Tests have come in the last three years, and both were against India.
The Ben Stokes-led side was on both occasions chasing a score of more than 350 runs, with Bumrah being a part of the Indian bowling attack.
It would be interesting to see if England opts to bowl again after winning the toss, as the team has been comfortable while chasing whatever score is set by the opposition.
India, on the other hand, would want to put on a much improved performance than what they delivered in the opening game of the series, especially in the bowling and fielding departments.
The former number one Test team would also hope for a more significant contribution with the bat from the lower order.
Conclusion
India would like to win the second Test in order to make a strong comeback in the five-match series.
As far as England is concerned, the Ben Stokes-led side will look to replicate the performance they gave in the opening game.
