The second Test between India and England at Edgbaston is teetering on the edge, with the weather forecast threatening to play a significant role in the final day’s play. India, buoyed by Shubman Gill’s stellar batting performance and the impressive bowling spells from Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami, holds a commanding position.

With England needing a monumental 608 runs for victory, the odds are heavily stacked against the hosts. However, the looming threat of rain on Sunday could dramatically shift the momentum. The possibility of persistent showers could significantly favour the seam bowlers and make a challenging chase even more improbable for England.

The match remains tantalisingly poised. While India is determined to level the series, a rain-affected finish could leave the result uncertain, adding another layer of excitement to this already captivating contest.
