Players have resumed play after a couple of rain breaks on the second day of the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test match between England and India at Edgbaston.
Going by the weather prediction in the city for the rest of the day, there are comparatively lesser chances of rain pouring down. With the rain probability being in vicinity of 30%, all the stakeholders would be hoping for rain gods to remain kind by allowing uninterrupted play for the remainder of Saturday.
India, who have managed to pick a wicket before both the rain breaks today, have dismissed the opposition’s opening batters cheaply. Captain Jasprit Bumrah, whose name has already been etched in history due to his batting heroics in the morning session, has also picked a couple of wickets in Alex Lees (6) and Zac Crawley (9).
