England got what they wanted in the 1st Test – a fourth-innings run chase. Ben Stokes’ side duly chased down 373, their second-highest in history to win, but India will be going all out to draw the series level at Edgbaston. Below we have all the information on how to watch the England vs India 2nd Test from anywhere.
Plenty an eyebrow was raised when England captain Stokes inserted India on a sunny opening morning at Headingley – not least former skipper Michael Vaughan – but this team love a chase and delivered. “Test matches are played over five days,” was Stokes’ perfunctory thoughts post-game.
Despite India notching five centuries – including one in each innings for irrepressible wicket keeper Rishabh Pant – the tourists’ long tail proved fatal as collapses of seven for 41 and six for 31 gave the hosts the sniff of victory they wanted.
Nevertheless, India still have Jasprit Bumrah, the world’s top-ranked bowler, but much will depend on his fire to start this test match after Gautam Gambhir confirmed he would only play three matches this tour.
Jofra Archer has also returned to an England Test squad for the first time in four years after injury, but may be saved for the 3rd Test.
