July 6, 2025: Live Cricket Score – The final day of the second Test between India and England at Edgbaston promises high drama as all three results remain mathematically possible. However, after four dominant days from India, the visitors are firmly in control and on course for a famous win—if the weather permits.
At stumps on Day 4, England were reeling at 72 for 3, chasing an improbable target of 608 runs set by India. With seven wickets in hand and 536 runs needed from 90 overs, the home side faces a mountainous task. India, meanwhile, will look to wrap up the innings early and seal a memorable victory.
The match has so far belonged to India. Skipper Shubman Gill continued his rich vein of form, notching up his second century of the Test and third of the series, anchoring India’s second innings with confidence and flair. He was ably supported by Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul, and Rishabh Pant, all of whom scored fluent half-centuries. India declared at 427, giving their bowlers more than enough time to dismantle England’s batting lineup.
Bowling Attack Fires Again
India’s bowling unit, spearheaded by Akash Deep, made early inroads into the English top order late on Day 4. Deep, along with the ever-reliable Jasprit Bumrah and Ravichandran Ashwin, will be key to finishing the job on the final day.
Rain a Potential Spoiler
While India are poised for victory, weather could play a major role. Rain is forecasted for later in the day, and any significant interruption could hurt India’s chances of completing the win. A drawn result remains possible if rain washes out a major portion of the play.
What’s at Stake?
A win for India would mark a significant comeback in the series, especially after the heartbreak of Headingley and the memories of Edgbaston 2022. For England, it’s all about survival and avoiding collapse. Even a fighting draw could be seen as a small victory under the circumstances.
Stay tuned for live updates as the drama unfolds at Edgbaston on Day 5 of this thrilling Test encounter.
