Edgbaston weather forecast July 2: What are the chances of rain on Day1 of ENG vs IND 2025 2nd Test in Birmingham?

India will take on England at Edgbaston in Birmingham from Wednesday, July 2 in the second Test of the two-five match series. The match will be hugely significant for the visitors since they are 1-0 down in the series. Team India had their chances in Leeds, but failed to build on the positives and eventually ended up conceding the Test by five wickets.

Shubman Gill and co. are likely to make a couple of changes to their playing XI for the second Test in Birmingham. The Indian captain confirmed that Jasprit Bumrah is available for the Edgbaston Test. However, whether he is part of the playing XI will only be known at the toss. Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav is also like to be picked in the playing XI.

England, on the other hand, announced an unchanged playing XI for the second Test. They had named fast bowler Jofra Archer in the squad for the Birmingham Test. However, the hosts eventually decided against changing the winning combination, which led them to an impressive triumph in the first Test.
