Test between india

LIVE On Sony Sports Ten: With suspense still present over Jasprit Bumrah’s participation in the Edgbaston Test starting on Wednesday, pressure mounts on India’s other bowlers to improve from their erratic outing in Leeds and step up in the battle for survival in the five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series.

India's five-wicket defeat in Leeds yet again showed the yawning gulf between Bumrah, who picked a five-wicket haul and the rest of Indian fast bowlers – Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna and Shardul Thakur. While Bumrah had a match haul of 5-140 in 43.4 overs, Siraj, Prasidh and Thakur had combined figures of 9-482 in 92 overs.

The erratic length and line of the trio presented numerous scoring opportunities, thus enabling England’s batters to accumulate runs with relative ease and chase down 371 on the final day’s play in Leeds. With India yet to secure a Test match victory in Edgbaston, the performance of their bowlers and how they improve on the mistakes made in Leeds will be subject to intense scrutiny.
