Siraj revealed his willingness to help his bowling partner achieve the milestone. "Akash Deep was waiting for his opportunity, and he showed his hunger today. I really enjoyed bowling with him.

IND Vs ENG 2nd Test Day 5 FREE Live Streaming Details: When And Where To Watch India vs England Edgbaston, Birmingham Test Match Live Telecast On TV, Mobile APPs Online
IND vs ENG 2nd Test Day 5: The stage is set for a thrilling conclusion to the second Test between India and England at Edgbaston on Sunday, as Shubman Gill-led India stand on the verge of scripting history after four days of commanding cricket. Chasing a mammoth 608-run target, England will resume Day 5 at 72/3, needing another 536 runs, while India need just seven wickets to level the series 1-1. Gill's Record-Breaking Masterclass Lights Up Edgbaston Shubman Gill has emerged as the undisputed star of the Test, rewriting the record books with twin knocks of 269 and 161. In doing so, the 24-year-old became the first batter in Test history to score both a 250 and a 150 in the same match, a feat that has stunned the cricketing world. India, riding on Gill's brilliance, amassed a record aggregate of 1014 runs across both innings, marking the first instance in 591 Tests where the Indian team has crossed the 1000-run mark in a single match. Supported ably by Ravindra Jadeja, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, and Nitish Kumar Reddy, India piled up scores of 587 and 427 before declaring their second innings. England's ultra-aggressive Bazball approach faces its biggest challenge yet, with captain Ben Stokes and the home side staring down the barrel. At stumps on Day 4, England were three down with Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, and Joe Root already back in the pavilion. Ollie Pope (24*) and Harry Brook (15*) are at the crease and will need a miracle to survive nearly 90 overs or chase the unreachable total. Will Rain Rescue England? Rain, however, could turn out to be England's unlikely saviour. According to the UK Met Office, there's a 30–50% chance of rainfall between 10 AM and 2 PM local time (7:30–12:30 IST). The forecast suggests "heavy rain changing to overcast by lunchtime," with a significant drop in precipitation likelihood to under 10% after 3 PM. If showers interrupt the morning session, India could lose valuable time in their hunt for a first-ever Test win at Edgbaston a venue where they've lost seven of their eight Tests, drawing just one in 1986.

India bowling coach Morkel unshaken by Brook's ‘we'll chase anything' claim, says ‘in for exciting Day 5'
India bowling coach Morne Morkel said he is looking forward to seeing how England go about their business while chasing 536 on the last day of the second Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. India, riding on their skipper Shubman Gill's ferocious batting, set England a target of 608 runs and the home side has skittled down to 72 for the loss of three wickets at the close of Saturday's play. 'Harry Brook said yesterday that they would go for the chase — we are in for an exciting day of cricket. England have got success playing that style of cricket. If they are happy to take it on (so be it),' Morkel said after Stumps on Day 4. 'Brook likes to take the game on and he's an entertainer .That's a brand of cricket they want to play. They probably might have a go for a while and then reassess,' added Morkel. Earlier, the ICC World No. 2 Test batter and England's middle-order mainstay Harry Brook said England are confident of chasing down any total set by the Indian team on Friday. 'I still think we can win this Test match, to be honest. I believe if we take a couple of early wickets tomorrow and put them under pressure and hopefully they can crumble up there and everybody knows in the world that we are going to try and chase whatever they set us, so we'll see how they play,' said Brook to the BBC. Morkel also categorically denied when asked if India was worried whether England would chase down the total, since their delayed declaration surprised many. India batted for 83 overs in the second innings and scored over 400 to ensure they eliminated one result from the Test. 'Worried? No, not really. I think if a team scores 500+ on the final day, then they deserve to win. So, I think it was just a little bit more time. Ideally, give an hour, a little bit more than an hour at them tonight, with Day 5 around the corner,' said Morkel. But we saw [Saturday] morning that if we get the ball in the right areas, there is a bit of assistance. Your skill really gets tested on a surface like this. The margin for error is smaller. It's going to be about asking questions on a good length because as the ball gets a little softer, it is harder to strike. But, I'm just happy with the three [wickets so far],' the South African added.

WWE Legend Opines on Criticism for Goldberg's Swansong at Saturday Night's Main Event
Image via WWE Bill Goldberg and Gunther will battle it out at Saturday Night's Main Event on July 12 in Atlanta for the coveted World Heavyweight Championship in what is billed as Goldberg's last-ever WWE outing. However, there has been some opposition and criticism from the fanbase about a 58-year-old getting a title shot while the young crop work hard for their opportunities every week. Moreover, Goldberg has been out of his prime for quite some time now. He last competed in the WWE in 2022 at Elimination Chamber and has been involved in relatively shorter matches owing to his age. Joining the fan base was Bully Ray who recently questioned Goldberg getting an opportunity at this stage of his career. And it seems that the former WWE tag team legend has more to say just days out from the NBC special. Bully Ray Says WWE Is Looking to Bank on Goldberg's Starpower Bully Ray recently appeared on Busted Open Radio to discuss Goldberg's WWE return alongside many other topics. The former TNA Champion explained that the promotion is actually not looking to get an in-ring classic with the 58-year-old but is rather banking on his legendary status and the momentum that comes with it. Ray told his fellow host Dave LaGreca, 'I don't understand how you're not understanding why they would do it. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Bill still has a name. Bill still looks great. They are not concerned about the match. That's why they are putting him in there with Gunther. They understand that a lot of — Bill's last five outings haven't been, you know, five-star bangers. That's not the point.' He added, 'The whole thing with Bill is the spectacle. The entrance. The show. What happens from bell to bell, they would do their absolute damnedest to keep the spotlight on what Bill does well, and what Gunther can get out of him." Ray's opinion makes perfect sense. Even in his heyday, Goldberg wasn't known to have in-ring spectacles but his presence and intensity had the power to sell out arenas and stadiums. His matches against Hollywood Hulk Hogan for the WCW Heavyweight title were a massive success while his WWE outings against The Rock and Triple H were classics owing to Goldberg's enigmatic personality. And it is safe to say that the promotion is looking to make money that way. Moreover, the WWE legend has been putting in the work since January 2025 to be healthy come this Saturday in what could be his last WWE match.
