England are in a great position to win the rescheduled 5th Test against India after its batters showed great intent on day 4 of the Edgbaston Test. The openers Alex Lees and Zak Crawley shared a century stand and the experienced and in-form duo of Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow slammed unbeaten half-centuries to bring England within touching distance of the target with 7 wickets in hand.
Having been in control for much of the ongoing rescheduled fifth Test against England at Edgbaston, India found themselves on the back foot at stumps on Day 4. Apart from Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant, the Indian batting failed to come to the party in the second innings, and were bowled out for 245, setting England a target of 378 runs to win the fifth Test. Despite the batters' failings in the second innings, India still would have been quietly confident with England needing to chase over 350 runs to win the match -- a feat that has never been accomplished at Edgbaston.
Veteran India discard Wriddhiman Saha will join the Tripura team as a player-cum-mentor, an official said on Tuesday. A veteran of 40 Tests, Saha has already got the NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB). "We have had talks with Saha and he has agreed to play for the state. He will also act as a mentor for the senior team to motivate the players," Tripura Cricket Association (TCA) joint secretary Kishore Das told PTI. TCA expects that Saha, a wicket-keeper-batter, will sign an agreement by July 15, he said.
England are firmly in control of the rescheduled fifth Test being played at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Classy unbeaten knocks from Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow on Day 4 left the hosts needing just 119 more runs to win on the final day with seven wickets still in the bag.

India's "timid" and "defensive" batting approach in their second innings allowed England to make a comeback in the rescheduled fifth Test on the fourth day, reckons former India head coach Ravi Shastri. Leading by 132 runs, India's second innings folded for 245. Chasing 378, England are now just 119 runs away from the victory target. "I think (it was) disappointing, to say the least, because they could have batted England out of this contest," said Shastri, who is part of the Sky Sports Cricket team at Edgbaston.
