"It's raining tomorrow" - Harry Brook involved in hilarious exchange with Shubman Gill on Day 4 of ENG vs IND 2025 2nd Test [Watch]

England batter Harry Brook was involved in a playful banter with India captain Shubman Gill on Day 4 of the second Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Saturday, July 5. As the tourists took a 440-run lead in their second innings, Brook reminded Gill about the poor weather forecast for Day 5.

According to the BBC, there is a 19 to 76 per cent possibility of rain during the first half of the final day in Birmingham on Sunday, July 6.

Amid this, the Yorkshire batter questioned the skipper whether the tourists would declare after 450 to give themselves enough chance of winning the game with four sessions left in the contest. To everyone’s surprise, Gill replied, “Bad luck.”

Here's how the conversation went:

Brook:

“450 Declare? Shubman, it’s raining tomorrow. Half-day! Afternoon, it’s raining.”

Gill:

“Bad luck for us.”

Brook:

“Take the draw!”

Surprisingly, Team India continued to bat despite completing a 450-plus lead as Shubman Gill completed his century, becoming only the second Indian player after legendary Sunil Gavaskar to score a double ton and a hundred in the same Test.
