How will the weather IND vs ENG 2nd Test in Birmingham?
Actually, according to the Meteorological Department and AccuWeather, the shadow of rain is looming today on the first day of the match at Edgbaston. There is a chance of 82 to 86 percent rain on the first day, which means the game may be disrupted many times.
There is a high chance of rain in Birmingham in the morning and light rain or drizzle can also be seen in the afternoon.
The sky will remain cloudy throughout the day, which can benefit the fast bowlers. Due to cloud cover in English conditions, the ball gets more swing and seam, which makes it difficult for the batsmen to score runs. Because of this, the team winning the toss can decide to bowl first.
This is the pitch
The weather is hot in Birmingham and there is grass on the pitch but it is dry from below. Three years ago, England had drawn the series by achieving the target of 378 runs on the same ground. In the last few years, a lot of runs have been scored on this ground in county cricket.
The role of spinners will be important on this ground and the Indian management will have to decide whether to field Washington Sundar along with Ravindra Jadeja or give place to Kuldeep, who is adept at taking wickets. India will certainly field two spinners.
