Edgbaston Birmingham weather today: Edgbaston weather forecast IND vs ENG Day 1 Birmingham Test

Edgbaston Birmingham weather today: The SportsRush presents before you the weather prediction for the fifth ENG vs IND Test Day 1.

The fifth Test match of India’s tour of England 2021 will be played as part of a rescheduled fixture to mark the start of India’s tour of England 2022. Other than a one-off Test, India will also be playing three T20Is and as many ODIs within a 17-day period on this tour.

Currently leading 2-1 in the series with a match to be played, a maiden Test victory in Birmingham under a brand new captain will register India’s fourth Test series victory in England. While even a draw will hand the Pataudi Trophy to India, an Indian loss will see the series ending in a 2-2 draw.

COVID-19 has played a role even before the start of the match ruling out England wicket-keeper batter Ben Foakes and India captain Rohit Sharma of the match. While England named their Playing XI on the eve of the match, India will do the same at the toss time now.
