IND vs ENG Test LIVE Score: Focus on Indian batters as India look to seal series.© AFP
India vs England, 5th Test, Day 1 Live Score Updates: It has finally stopped raining at the Edgbaston in Birmingham and the play will resume at 6:45 PM IST. India were 53 for two before rain had forced early Lunch during Day 1 of the ongoing fifth Test. Virat Kohli had just come out to bat while Hanuma Vihari was unbeaten on 14. James Anderson had put England in command after dismissing Shubman Gill (17) and Cheteshwar Pujara, respectively. England captain Ben Stokes had earlier won the toss and opted to bowl in the rescheduled fifth Test against India at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Friday. Cheteshwar Pujara would open the batting for India and Ravindra Jadeja has gotten the nod ahead of Ravichandran Ashwin. Focus would be on Virat Kohli as the Indian batters will face a stiff challenge against the England pacers on Day 1. Kohli had last scored a century in 2019 and since then, the three figure mark has eluded him. Kohli can take confidence from the fact that he had scored a century in Edgbaston in 2018. Jasprit Bumrah would lead India after Rohit Sharma tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday once again. England are in red hot form after they defeated New Zealand 3-0 by playing an attacking brand of cricket under Ben Stokes. It would be interesting to see how both teams approach the contest.
