(Reuters) - Veteran bowler James Anderson called on England's batsmen to play with aggression as they look to claw their way back into the rearranged fifth test against India at Edgbaston.
England batter Jonny Bairstow had been in fine form against New Zealand as he registered back-to-back centuries at Trent Bridge and Headingley. He was playing an attacking brand of cricket and everyone expected the same to be the case against India in the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston. However, this has not been the case so far, as Bairstow has been bogged down by the quality of the Indian attack. The right-handed batter has played 47 balls so far, scoring just 12.

Umran Malik and his extreme pace are no more a secret to anyone. The bowler caught limelight with his speed in the Indian Premier League in 2021 before putting a further better performance in the next edition. The IPL 2022 season saw Malik picking 22 wickets across 14 games with his best figures being 5/25. The performance helped Umran get an entry to the Indian squad for the series against Ireland before earning another call-up for the nation's upcoming white-ball series against England.
Jadeja's ton justifies team's decision in selecting him over AshwinThe last four months have been a bit of a roller-coaster ride for Ravindra Jadeja. He came back in style after missing the tour of South Africa to score 175 vs Sri Lanka and pick nine wickets in the Test at Mohali to cap one of the great solo all-round performances by an Indian player in a Test.
Veteran England pacer James Anderson backed Stuart Broad, who was on the receiving end of an unwanted record on Day 2 of the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test against India at Edgbaston on Saturday. Coming in to bat at no.10 Jasprit Bumrah made light of a bowler of Stuart Broad's calibre hitting him for four boundaries and two sixes in an over while six runs came of extras in the Edgbaston Test. In the 84th over of the match, captain Bumrah started off by hitting a boundary, hooking him into the gap for four. Next, he bowled a wayward delivery to concede five wides.
Left-handed batter Ravindra Jadeja was at his best in the first innings of the ongoing Edgbaston Test against England as he played a 104-run knock to help India post 416 runs on the board. India were struggling at 98/5 and it was then that Jadeja along with Rishabh Pant put on 222 runs for the sixth wicket. Speaking to reporters after stumps on Day 2, Jadeja talked about his mindset during the innings and also reacted to James Anderson's comment where the England pacer had said that Jadeja thinks like a proper batter now.
Robin Peterson for 28 in an over in Johannesburg in 2003. Current Aussie chief selector George Bailey too had smashed James Anderson for 28 in an over as did Keshav Maharaj, when he bulldozed Joe Root for 28 in 2020. DAY 2: AS IT HAPPENEDOn a rain-affected Day Two at Edgbaston, Bumrah hit a bowler with 550 Test wickets in Stuart Broad for 29 runs in an over and then got the wickets of England openers Alex Lees, Zak Crawley and No.3 Ollie Pope to cap a perfect day as captain.
