India Tightens Grip Over England in Second Test at Edgbaston

Edgbaston, July 5:
Team India continued their commanding performance on Day 3 of the second Test against England, tightening their grip on the match after setting a mammoth first-innings total of 587. Led by centuries from Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal, India’s batting lineup dismantled the English bowling attack and established a firm upper hand early in the game.

In response, England posted 407 in their first innings, thanks to a gritty 90 from Joe Root and a solid contribution from Ben Stokes. Despite the fightback, the hosts still trailed by 180 runs, giving India a significant cushion going into the second half of the match.

By the start of England’s second innings, openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett looked to provide a steady start. At lunch on Day 3, England were 52 without loss, still trailing by over 120 runs. India’s bowlers, particularly Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja, maintained tight lines and kept pressure on the English batters.

The pitch at Edgbaston has begun to show signs of wear, with increasing turn and variable bounce. This is expected to favor India’s spin attack as the game progresses, putting England at risk of a batting collapse if they don’t dig in during the remaining sessions.

Captain Rohit Sharma is likely to enforce the follow-on or push for a fourth-innings target if England manages to level the deficit. With two days left in the Test, India remains in a commanding position and will look to wrap up the match with an innings win or a comfortable chase, if required.

This performance underlines India’s growing confidence overseas, particularly in English conditions. England, on the other hand, must produce something extraordinary to avoid going 2-0 down in the series.
