Team India, captained by Shubman Gill, will go head-to-head with Ben Stokes-led England in the second test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. It is scheduled on July 2 in Edgbaston, Birmingham. India lost the first Test by five wickets and would want to brush that aside and win the second Test to draw the Series.
The opening Test was a run feast, and there were five centuries scored by the four Indian batsmen. Even though India had an outstanding performance in terms of batting, it failed to win. The survival of England and their ability to run down the target underlined their pursuit and talent.
The second Test offers Team India the opportunity to reassemble their group and plan intently to come back strong. Captaincy by Shubman Gill is going to play an important role in helping them find the required changes and play to their potential. England, on the other hand, will be keen to continue riding on their high to create an irresistible 2-0 lead in the series.
It is going to be a thrilling match, and both teams are keen on leaving an impression. The team fight between India and England on the cricket field will be a delight to watch amongst fans. The series is yet to conclude, and the performance of the second Test will be very essential in deciding the ultimate victor.

Who Will Win the Match?
England are high on confidence due to the victory against Leeds and home advantage so the balance is tilted in their direction in Birmingham. Nevertheless, cricket is a volatile game, which allows for bounce-back. In case Bumrah features, then India has high chances. England could be a narrow favorite due to their aggressive Bazball playing style and better recent results, although they lost the first two games in this series, and India closes the series, which could ignite a warlike performance.
