IND vs ENG 2nd Test Predicted XI And Dream Team: After facing a five-wicket defeat in the first Test, Shubman Gill-led India will aim to rebound in the series with new strategies when they take on host England in the second match at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Wednesday.
With the side already 0-1 down after a five-wicket loss at Headingley, it is yet to be seen if India can afford to play without Jasprit Bumrah.
Much of India's woes in the first Test have to do with poor fielding. Several dropped catches saw the Gill-led side become the first team in Test history to lose despite scoring five centuries across the two innings.
India's bowlers, barring Bumrah, struggled in the first Test at Headingley, where England chased down 371 to win by five wickets despite twin centuries from Rishabh Pant and first-innings hundreds from Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal.
Toss: The toss for the second Test match between India and England will take place at 3:00 PM IST while the game begins at 3:30 PM IST.
Date: Wednesday, July 2
Venue: Edgbaston, Birmingham
