July 6, 2025: India Vs England Weather – Just like the thrilling finish in the first Test at Headingley, the second Test at Edgbaston has reached its final day with all three results—win, loss, or draw—still mathematically possible.
India, thanks to a commanding all-round performance on Day 4, have set England a colossal target of 536 runs in 90 overs, with the hosts already three wickets down. While the task may seem nearly impossible, history gives England a faint glimmer of hope—having successfully chased down targets above 350 against India on two separate occasions at home in the past three years.
But this time, the equation feels more like a double-ODI scenario, with a required run rate hovering just below six. Despite that, many experts and English pundits believe England may be better off playing for a draw, especially given the conditions and the pitch’s behavior.
India, determined not to let the game slip away as it did in Edgbaston 2022 and Headingley, played it smart on Day 4. They extended their lead to give their bowlers ample rest and wore down the English fielders by keeping them out in the sun. With the ball still relatively new, the Indian attack will look to strike early on Day 5 and potentially wrap things up before the second new ball becomes necessary.
However, the weather might play spoilsport. Rain is forecasted for the latter half of the day, which could significantly influence the outcome. Both teams are aware of the ticking clock—not just in terms of overs left but also the looming threat of rain.
Stay tuned for all the live updates and potential twists on what promises to be a dramatic finale at Edgbaston.
