The second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between England and India kicked off at Edgbaston, Birmingham, on Wednesday, July 2. Famous artist Andy Brown was present at the stadium on the opening day.
England's fan group, 'Barmy Army', uploaded a video on its Instagram account, where Brown could be seen painting the Edgbaston ground. The post suggested that the renowned artist has painted over 150 grounds around the world.
Here's a video of Brown painting Edgbaston on Day 1 of the ongoing Test:
It is worth mentioning that Brown also showed his painting skills during the 2025 Indian Premier League (IPL). He portrayed the final between Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) on his canvas.
Following Bengaluru's six-run win in the summit clash, Brown posed with his painting alongside Virat Kohli and other RCB players at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad.
Some of the other famous matches where Brown wowed fans with his live painting include the 2024 T20 World Cup final and England's legendary bowler James Anderson's farewell Test.
