However, India, on the other hand, has been fabulous and flawless with their fast bowling this series and even in this match, in the first innings, Indian fast bowlers took all the 10 wickets,  with Mohammad Siraj being the pick of the bowlers with 4 wickets to his name. Bumrah has been in impeccable form this series as he has bagged 21 wickets, which in itself is a record for any Indian fast bowler in a Test series against England in England. Shami was also impressive as he bagged 2 wickets in the first innings.

The major onus will lie on the lower order of India, which actually saved the day for India as India was reeling at 98/5 in the first innings. Indian batsman will vary of the danger to be brought in by James Anderson as he has been arguably the best bowler for England in this test. The best news for Indian fans and all the fans over the world is that it is bright, and sunny out there in Edgbaston, and the forecast shows no signs of rain to hinder the match.
