Rain has played a part in the Edgbaston Test so far in brief spellsThe long-awaited rescheduled fifth Test match between India and England reaches a fitting climax at Edgbaston, Birmingham. The Ben Stokes-led side require 119 runs with seven wickets in hand to level the series 2-2.Should India fail to win, it would prolong their wait for a series win in England, after having last won in 2007 under Rahul Dravid. After bowling out India for 245 midway through the penultimate day, England went all-out in pursuit of the 378-run target. Alex Lees and Zak Crawley made the most of the conditions on offer and stitched together a 107-run partnership for the opening wicket.India made their way back into the contest with three wickets in quick succession, but that is where their bag of tricks emptied. In-form Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow closed out the day with a dominant 150-run stand, getting England closer to the target.It is to be noted that the highest successful run chase at the venue is 281, when South Africa, led by Graeme Smith, scripted a five-wicket win in 2008. Moreover, no opposition has ever chased a total in excess of 350 against India.England are currently in pole position to seal the match given their current form as well as the batting-friendly conditions on offer. Fans believe that the only thing that could stop the hosts from winning is a persistent, heavy spell of rain.The change in weather on the final day had prevented India from scripting a famous win at Trent Bridge last year as well.Here are some of the reactions:Kuldeep Sharma@Kuldeep9SharmaPraying for rain in #Delhi and #Edgbaston ....for different reasons, of course!#ENGvIND #ENGvsIND5thTestPraying for rain in #Delhi and #Edgbaston ....for different reasons, of course!#ENGvIND #ENGvsIND5thTestCS Arjun Soni@ajsoniNeed Mumbai like rain in Edgbaston #INDvsENGNeed Mumbai like rain in Edgbaston #INDvsENGRiddhi Patel@scottsthot69Indians who are visiting the Edgbaston stadium today, I’m urging you all to look up at the sky and sing “Ghanan Ghanan”. we need that rain coming. #INDvENG2Indians who are visiting the Edgbaston stadium today, I’m urging you all to look up at the sky and sing “Ghanan Ghanan”. we need that rain coming. #INDvENGPandu ◡̈⃝💜@AnbeSivaamRain god help us @ #Edgbaston #ENGvIND #INDvsENGRain god help us @ #Edgbaston #ENGvIND #INDvsENG https://t.co/Me4nN9XYTmRahul Kumar@rahulk_1019Now no rain would intervene as it did at Trent bridge last year...

It will also be England's highest-ever successful run chase, topping their monumental effort against Australia at Leeds in 2019.
