India trail the five-match series 0-1 after losing at Headingley from a commanding position. India lost the first Test by five wickets after England successfully chased down 371 runs on the final day.
Pacer Jasprit Bumrah will only be playing three games out of five due to workload management, but Engineer wants him to play as many games as possible. There is intense speculation that he will be sitting out of the second Test here, starting July 2.

IND vs ENG, 2nd Test: Why he bothered opening the batting? Ex-England cricketer lauds 'outrageous' Shubman Gill
India's captain Shubman Gill celebrates after scoring a double century on day two of the second cricket test match between England and India at Edgbaston in Birmingham, England, Thursday, July 3, 2025. (AP Photo/Scott Heppell) Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad showered praise on Team India's captain Shubman Gill and asked why the youngster batted as an opener in the early part of his Test career. The 25-year-old, who has moved down to No. 4 in this Test series, has already smashed 578 runs in his debut Test series as India captain. He broke a plethora of records when he added 161 to his 269 in the first innings. Before this series, Gill's highest score in a Test was 128; here in England his four innings have scores of 147, 269, and 161. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "He'll be wondering why he bothered opening the batting for the first bit of his career," Broad told Sky Sports. "When he has come in at number four and done what he's done, it's outrageous. It's incredible. "He's not showing any obvious signs. I mean, I'm a bowler. I'm always looking for little technical things where you could try and expose them. India vs England 2nd Test: Shubman Gill's 269, Ravindra Jadeja's class light up Edgbaston "He's not shown any obvious signs of ways of dismissal. He's played stylishly. He's played with huge responsibility under big pressure in his first two Test matches as captain. "It's breathtaking, to be honest. He deserves all the plaudits he's going to get. The future of Indian cricket, the future of Indian batting looks very bright." Even Virat Kohli posted a heartfelt story on Instagram for Shubman Gill, calling him a "Star boy." He is getting praise from the locals too. Former England captain Nasser Hussain , while doing the commentary, said: 'A hundred in the first Test, a double hundred and a hundred in the second. The Indian captain is in the form of his life. Gill has been chanceless and elegant in both innings.' Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Edgbaston Hourly Weather Update, Day 5: Did Shubman Gill's Declaration Come Too Late?
Team India might have taken three wickets to reduce England to 72/3 by stumps on Day 4 of the second Test at Edgbaston, but the chances of Shubman Gill 's side securing a victory on Day 5 still remain slim. Though India only require 7 wickets on the final day of the Test, skipper Shubman Gill's cautious declaration might have come a little too late, considering the weather forecast in Edgbaston on Sunday. With over a 60% chance of precipitation on the day, especially in the morning, the chances of a delayed start are extremely high. Team India remained in a strong situation since the start of the match, with Gill's double ton inspiring the team to score of 587 in the first innings. England, in reply, were bundled out for 407 runs. India then declared the second innings at 427/6 before picking up three England wickets for a score of 72 runs by the end of Day 4. Though taking 7 wickets on Day 5 doesn't seem to be a tricky task, many feel that Gill should've been more attacking and declared early because of the weather forecast in Edgbaston. Edgbaston, Hourly Weather Update Today: 6:00 AM - 48% 7:00 AM - 60% 8:00 AM - 89% 9:00 AM - 90% 10:00 AM - 60% 11:00 AM - 46% 12:00 PM - 46% 1:00 PM - 47% 2:00 PM - 20 % 3:00 PM - 13% 4:00 PM - 0% 5:00 PM - 0% If the forecast turns out to be accurate and Edgbaston witnesses rain till 1 pm local time, the match will start after lunch on the final day. Such a situation would give England strong hopes of drawing the game, something even Harry Brook had spoken of while Gill was batting on Day 4. It also has to be noted that the temperature is expected to remain below 20 degrees Celsius, with the skies being covered by clouds. Such a condition will also aid India's fast bowlers. It's all about how the pacers can make the best of the few hours then get to bowl out England and script history in Edgbaston.
