Edgbaston is made and dusty. The Indian side led by Shubman Gill has raped Birmingham for the first time in the test history of India. The visitors defeated Ben Stokes & Co. for 336 races, hitting England and matching the score. The two teams will now go to Lord’s, where the third test will be played from July 10. India registered an emphatic victory on the back of some strong actions by Captain Gill, Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj. The 28 -year -old pacemaker who was brought by Jasprit Bumrah climbed 10 wickets in the game. He broke the back of the English side in both tickets. While Siraj managed to register 6/70 figures in the first tickets, Akash Deep walked along the same way later. He grabbed a six wickt tour in the second tickets.

Ben Stokes, the English captain, was presumably disappointed by the way things accelerated in the last five days. In the interview after the game, he talked about the things that England could have done better. He said that the three lions could not capitalize their possibilities with the bat and the ball. When asking him how he would look back in the decision to play first, he said it was a difficult decision to do.

“Two moments. Having them in 200 for 5, we were very happy there, and not being able to explode them there and be 80 by 5, it is difficult to scrape it from there. As the game became more and deeper, it adapted to India more than us,” Stokes said.

Ben Stokes in England’s performance

India put England to hit the night of day 4, with a considerable objective of 608. It was a huge goal in the context of the game. The English players, who were already tired and exhausted with all the time in the field, now had to come and hit for just over an hour. The employer talked about the impact of such moments on the players. I was also sure that the team would get used to such situations.

“It is always a difficult position batting at the end of the day after a long day. Tired bodies, tired minds. But it is a situation that we will face again and will need to get used to it. And the opposition is world -class, Shubman had a fantastic game,” said the English pattern.

When asked about Indian sailors who work better than the English, Stokes replied that it was not a great concern. He said that the hosts tried everything they could to stop India and take wickts, but the Indians were too good regarding the skills they showed. He also said it becomes difficult to recover when the opposition is at the top.

“I will not say that it is necessarily a concern. We tried everything, we changed plans and did what we could. But when a team is on top of you, it is difficult to return the impulse,” Stokes said in his interview after the game.

In Jamie Smith, Harry Brook and the accumulation of Lord’s

England registered six ducks in the first entries. If it weren’t for Harry Brook and Jamie Smith, the hosts would have been humiliated at home. Who knows, if it were not for the twin centuries of their number 5 and No.7, the English would have received the end of follow -up. After India accumulated 587 races in the first tickets, England was reduced to 84/5. But just when India began to dominate, Brook and Smith crushed tons, registering a horrible association of 303 races. That association is what led England to a respectable 407, which was still 180 races behind India. In the interview after the match, Stokes also emphasized the association between Brook and Smith. He also talked about how well the English Wicktkeeper battery is being formed.

“Jamie has been incredible since he has entered the team. He has been exceptional with the bat and goes massively under the radar like a Wicktkeeper. He stayed with his weapons and played his natural game, and the way he and Harry could recover the impulse, although it was not enough, it was great.”

When asked about the changes before the next test at the Lord’s Crickt Ground, Stokes confirmed that the team would review how players are being formed in the next few days before determining the balance of the team for the next task, starting on July 10.

“A couple of days to think about it, but it has been a difficult week, so we will see how we shape Lord’s.”
