IND vs ENG Live Score, 2nd Test Match Day 1: Shubman Gill & Co. face selection dilemma while targeting series equaliser
12:45 (IST) Jul 02 On Monday, India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said, "Bumrah is ready to play. It's how we manage these four Tests. So if we feel like there's value in playing him in this Test, we'll make that call at the very last minute. I'm talking about weather, how the pitch is going to play, are we better off holding him back for Lord's and maybe Manchester or The Oval? So it's all those factors, but you've seen him train yesterday, he trained a little bit today. It's not like he's not fit to play. It's just trying to fit those puzzle pieces to get the most out of what we know we do have from him." "We also feel we can go 1-1 or keep the score at 1-0 without Jasprit, and then again, that's putting the eggs in the back end of the series," ten Doeschate said. "We're going to need him at some stage as well. You have got to decide when you're going to play your strongest suit. "And that's what I was talking about the weather and all that, but we feel that whatever we put out there, we can compete in this Test match, and you know, we came pretty close without Jasprit in the second innings when he didn't get any wickets, and you can't win the Test series with just one bowler in any case, and the bowlers are very well aware they need to chip in with wickets. Sorry, I can't give you a more firm answer, but we'll work out in the next 48 or 24 hours how we're going to manage Jasprit."

A spinner or two: India face selection conundrum in bid for comeback against England
BIRMINGHAM: India will need to shed their conservative selection approach and give themselves the best chance to take 20 wickets on what is expected to be another batting surface in the second Test against England, beginning here on Wednesday. By the team management's own admission, India missed a specialist bowler at Leeds, Kuldeep Yadav to be specific, as England comfortably chased down a record 371 on day five of a game that the visitors should have won. In the words of assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate, India are grappling to find a team combination that doesn't compromise on batting depth and yet has the bowlers to take 20 wickets. "In terms of managing the strategy there, we're looking at each bowler individually, feeling what we feel they can get wickets-wise. And then it's just trying to balance up and trying to calculate as best you can what the best chance of getting into the Test match." Doeschate admitted. "But you need 20 wickets. So the attacking party is obviously finding someone who can get wickets as well. And we are grappling with that. We don't stop talking about that. We're trying to figure it out," he added. The weather has been rather hot in Birmingham and the surface, bound by a decent covering of grass, is dry underneath. On this very ground three years ago, England had gunned down a daunting 378 with ridiculous ease to draw the series. Of late, the same 22 yards have offered plenty of runs to the batters in county cricket. The spinners will eventually come into the game and India need to decide whether they want someone like Washington Sundar who can assist Ravindra Jadeja or get Kuldeep, who is a much better wicket-taking option. What is confirmed is that India will go in with two spinners.

Yashasvi Jaiswal Under Fire After Four Dropped Catches: Will He Play In India vs England 2nd Test At Edgbaston?
India's promising opener Yashasvi Jaiswal finds himself at the centre of an intense spotlight ahead of the second Test against England at Edgbaston, starting July 2. After a nightmare fielding display in the Leeds Test, where India fell to a five-wicket defeat, the 23-year-old's place in the slip cordon — and possibly even his role in the XI — has become a talking point. Jaiswal dropped four catches across both innings in the first Test, contributing significantly to India's downfall. These missed chances collectively cost India over 250 crucial runs, turning potential breakthroughs into extended English resistance. India dropped a staggering eight catches at Headingley — the most by the team in a single Test in the last three years. While fielding lapses can happen in any game, the sheer impact of these mistakes was glaring. England capitalized on nearly every dropped opportunity. Among the biggest let-offs: Ben Duckett, dropped by Jaiswal on 11, went on to score 62. Ollie Pope, reprieved on 60, smashed a brilliant 106. Harry Brook, dropped twice (once by Pant and once by Jaiswal), fell agonizingly short of a century on 99. Jaiswal's final drop — Duckett on 97 — led to a match-sealing 149-run knock. Jaiswal's four drops not only made him the top offender but also exposed India's fragile fielding under pressure, especially in English conditions where slip catching is paramount. Gambhir's Intervention: A Technical Chat, or a Dressing-Down? In the wake of the defeat, head coach Gautam Gambhir was seen having an animated conversation with Jaiswal during training at Edgbaston. According to a video shared by Revsportz, Gambhir, assisted by Ryan ten Doeschate, appeared to be offering corrective measures — focusing on short catching technique and positioning. Eyewitnesses reported that Jaiswal has been removed from the gully during practice, replaced by debutant Sai Sudharsan. The move suggests a strategic reshuffle rather than a punitive one. Ryan ten Doeschate Breaks Silence: 'Jaiswal Needs a Breather' India's assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate addressed the media on Monday, attempting to quell the speculation. 'Yashasvi has been a very good catcher for us. His hands are sore, and maybe we just give him a break from the gully. We want to build versatility in our fielding group. Managing his confidence is key right now,' said ten Doeschate. The statement reflects a pragmatic approach — easing the pressure on a young talent already shouldering the responsibility of opening in English conditions, while reinforcing the team's intent to bounce back. Redemption Awaits: Can Jaiswal Deliver With the Bat? While his fielding is under the scanner, Jaiswal's credentials with the bat remain intact. He scored a century in his debut Test innings on English soil and still remains a key player in India's top order. With Shubman Gill leading the side, India will bank on their left-right combination at the top to counter England's potent pace attack. Despite the criticism, the team management has not hinted at dropping Jaiswal from the playing XI — a show of faith that could reignite his form and confidence. India vs England 2nd Test Preview: What's at Stake? Trailing 0-1 in the five-match series, India must secure a win at Edgbaston to level the series. With questions around fielding, the bowling attack's inconsistency, and underwhelming lower-order contributions, the pressure is squarely on the visitors. England, on the other hand, look to capitalize on the momentum, especially after clinical performances from the likes of Pope, Brook, and Duckett.

Shubman Gill's team India set to make three MAJOR change in the playing XI for second Test against England
Shubman Gill. New Delhi: Team India are preparing to play the second Test match of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 that will start on July 2 and will be played on Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham till July 6. England lead the series by one Test to nil as they registered a 5-wicket win over the Indian team in the series opener. In a crack at trying to turn the tide on the series, Team India are supposed to make slight changes in their playing XI ahead of the second Test against England. Ryan ten Doeschate, the assistant coach, also alluded to potential change of the line-up in a pre-match press conference in Birmingham. India to include two spinners Coach Ryan ten Doeschate has confirmed that Team India will include two spinners in the 2 nd Test against England on his confirmation at the pre-match press conference. It is a good probability that Kuldeep Yadav or Washington Sundar will be brought to the playing XI. Alternatively, in case Ravindra Jadeja is rested, then Kuldeep and Washington will be drafted in as part of the playing XI in the Edgbaston Test. 'There is a very strong chance of playing two spinners. It's just which two we play. And that goes back to the previous question about juggling the batting depth. All three spinners are bowling very nicely,' he said. 'Washi's batting very nicely. So it's just which combination do we go with? All-rounder spinner or the out-and-out spinner? And you have to play the bowling all-rounder again. So there's so many different variables. 'The wicket's got 11 mm grass on at the moment. 11 or 12 mm. But it's quite grassy and patchy. It's quite dry underneath. But there's also rain forecast for Wednesday. So again, trying to weigh up the two options of how we want to go attacking-wise. But I'm pretty sure two spinners will play in this Test.' Nitish Kumar to replace Shardul Thakur Ryan ten Doeschate, the India coach, also hinted that Nitish Kumar Reddy may get the place of Shardul Thakur who played the first game in the series. This points to the fact that Thakur may find himself omitted in the next confrontation. 'He's very close to getting a game. Obviously, he was fantastic in Australia. Coming into the team and playing the way he did. 'We just felt on balance for the last game, we wanted to go with the bowling all-rounder. We thought Shardul was slightly ahead on the bowling front. We're looking at ways of rejigging the puzzle, so we can get a batting all-rounder in. 'Nitish is our premium batting all-rounder at the moment. So I would say it's a very good chance to play this test,' the former Netherlands international said. Jasprit Bumrah to miss second Test India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is set to sit out of the second Test as he is under a workload-management program. The pace bowler would leave a strong impression after taking a five-wicket haul in the first innings of the series opener, but it is also his likely match to be inhibited in the Edgbaston clash. Ryan ten Doeschate, the assistant coach, explained that Bumrah is in perfect health and has no injury concerns- the move is completely precautionary in the long term interest. He is likely to come back in the third Test.

No Bumrah, two spinners? India's training session hints at playing XI for 2nd Test
India's training session at Edgbaston on Monday afternoon provided the clearest indication yet of a reshuffled playing XI for the second Test against England, scheduled to begin on 2 July. The tourists are expected to make at least two changes, with pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah almost certain to miss the match as the team management looks to manage his assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said that the final decision on Bumrah's availability will be taken in the next 24 hours, but it appears increasingly likely that the star pacer will sit out the second Test. Bumrah, who bowled 43.4 overs in the series opener at Headingley, was a peripheral figure at training—sending down only a few deliveries towards the end of the session. He is expected to return for the third Test at Lord's, but his absence in Edgbaston will force India to rejig their pace Siraj and Prasidh Krishna are likely to retain their places after leading the attack in Leeds. The third seamer's slot appears to be a toss-up between Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep. Arshdeep brings a left-arm angle that adds variety, while Akash - impressive on debut during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy - offers sharp seam movement, though he's yet to be fully rewarded for his efforts. One change that looks all but certain is the replacement of Shardul Thakur, who had a quiet outing in the first Test. The seam-bowling all-rounder bowled just 16 overs and scored only five runs across both innings. He is set to make way for Nitish Kumar Reddy, whose dual skills add greater balance to the surface at Headingley was full of runs, and with hot weather prevailing, Edgbaston is also expected to favour batting early on - before offering more to the spinners as the match wears felt the absence of a second spinner in Leeds, and assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate hinted at a shift in strategy for the second Test. With Edgbaston traditionally aiding turn later in the game, the visitors are likely to field two frontline Jadeja remains a near-certain selection if fit. The decision, then, rests between Kuldeep Yadav's attacking wrist spin and Washington Sundar's off-spin and batting depth. Doeschate did not confirm the combination but strongly suggested that two spinners will feature. He also left open the possibility of playing both Jadeja and Sundar as spin-bowling the field, changes are on the cards too. After dropping four catches in the slip cordon at Headingley - several of them at gully—Yashasvi Jaiswal was moved out of that position. Monday's catching drills saw Karun Nair at first slip, KL Rahul and captain Shubman Gill at second and third, with Reddy and Sai Sudharsan alternating between fourth slip and trail the five-match series 0-1 following a five-wicket defeat in the opener. With England naming an unchanged XI, the pressure is now on the visitors to respond - not just through personnel changes, but in their execution - if they are to draw level in Birmingham.- EndsYou May Also Like
