Before the start of play on Day 4 of the Edgbaston Test, India were favourites to win against England, having extended their lead to 257 with seven wickets in hand and no one could have anticipated an England comeback. However, first, a poor batting performance on the fourth day saw India being bundled out for 245 in the second innings and then Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow played unbeaten knocks of 142 and 114 respectively as England chased down 378 to win the rescheduled fifth Test by seven wickets. As a result, the series that got underway last year, finished as 2-2.

Former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri lavished praise on pacer Jasprit Bumrah, after the stand-in skipper took a world record 35 runs from Stuart Broad in an over in Test cricket.

"Just when you think you have seen it all, this game surprises you even more. Fascinating batting from @Jaspritbumrah93 to smash the red cherry for 29 in an over. First in Durban with @YUVSTRONG12 & now in Birmingham. On air right place right time for 35 and 36," tweeted Shastri.

India vs England rescheduled 5th Test will be played from July 1 to July 5, 2022 at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. India lead the series 2-1 and a draw is enough for the team to win its fourth series on English soil. India's preparation for the all important Test has been hampered by captain Rohit Sharma's positive COVID-19 test during the tour game against Leicestershire. Designated vice-captain KL Rahul is also out with injury and reports suggest that paceman Jasprit Bumrah could lead India in the match if Rohit doesn't recover in time. Team India head coach Rahul Dravid on Wednesday said that Rohit's condition is being monitored and that he was "still not out" of the match.
