India's stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah is relishing the challenge of being in "deep water" against revitalised England.

James Anderson Included In England Playing XI For Edgbaston Test, Here's Why India Should Be Worried
England announced its playing XI for the Edgbaston Test against India and the most notable mention was that of veteran paceman James Anderson, who returns to the team after missing out the final Test against New Zealand.

He picked up 14 wickets in the three-match series but England went on to lose 0-1.

EXCLUSIVE: India vs England - India will clinch series by winning fifth Test, not drawing it, says Mohammed Siraj
As India stood on the cusp of a win in the fourth and final Test in Brisbane, Siraj found himself standing behind the boundary rope. And when Rishabh Pant smashed Josh Hazlewood for the match-winning boundary in the Gabba Test to win the series he ran towards the two Indian batsmen at the crease - Pant and Navdeep Saini - to hug them and then took out one stump as a souvenir. He then waved his hands at the crowd. His eyes were moist, a big smile on his face. He looked up to the sky and thanked God and paid a tribute to his father. For the 28-year-old Siraj, who is gearing up for the rescheduled fifth Test against England, starting Friday at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground, the memories of that historic Australian triumph are still fresh. The Indian pacer now wants to lift another trophy, in England, this time. "India are already leading the Test series and I am sure we will win this series. We want to win this series by winning the fifth Test, not by drawing it. The memories of winning in Australia are still fresh and I want my team to repeat those heroics in England too," Siraj told TimesofIndia.com in an exclusive interview in May this year.
