With a crushing defeat to England in the Edgbaston Test, the Indian cricket team has failed to seize the opportunity to register its fourth Test series win in the country.

When England were rattled on the fourth afternoon by stand-in skipper Jasprit Bumrah, the two star batters didn't waver from their game plan.

India have slowly but surely taken a commanding position in the fifth rescheduled Test against England at Edgbaston. Their lead has ballooned past the 300-mark on the fourth day as the Jasprit Bumrah-led side will be eyeing a win from here on. However, former India captain Virat Kohli's lean patch showed no signs of ending. After getting out for 11 in the first innings, he was dismissed for 20 in the second innings by Ben Stokes on Monday. The ball shaped in before moving away late, just so much as to take the nick of Kohli's bat and onto the hands of wicketkeeper Sam Billings. However, the drama did not end there as the ball rebounded off Billings hands but was taken safely by Joe Root, stationed at first slip.
