ENG vs IND Birmingham Weather: The second Test match of the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 is underway between India and England at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Under the leadership of Shubman Gill, Team India is on the verge of making history. India has never won a Test match at this venue before, but they are now just 7 wickets away from breaking that streak.
At stumps on Day 4, England were 72/3 and still need 536 runs to win. It seems almost impossible for the hosts to chase down such a huge target, which gives India a great chance to secure their first-ever win at Edgbaston
Birmingham Weather: A Big Threat to India’s Dream
India has played 8 Test matches at Edgbaston in the past 58 years. Out of these, the team has lost 7 and drawn one, under the captaincy of Kapil Dev in 1986. This is Shubman Gill’s golden opportunity to be the first Indian captain to win a Test match at this iconic English ground. With strong performances by Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, and a double century from Gill himself, India has outplayed England in all departments so far.
The only threat to India’s victory now is not England’s batting but Birmingham’s unpredictable weather. On the morning of Day 5, rain showers delayed the start of play. As per AccuWeather, there is a strong chance of rain throughout the day. Cloudy skies, 50 km/h winds, and intermittent rain could impact play significantly.
If the rain continues, the match may be called off or result in a draw. Even if rain stops later, a significant number of overs may be lost. This could deny India a well-deserved win at Edgbaston.
ENG vs IND 2nd Test: All Eyes on the Sky
The match is set to start at 3:30 PM IST (11:00 AM local time), but whether play will occur depends entirely on the weather. If the rain gods show mercy, India could finally rewrite history at Edgbaston.
