India Needs Four Wickets to Level Test Series at Edgbaston

On the final day of the second Test at Edgbaston, England struggled to chase an imposing target of over 600 runs set by India, with the hosts at 153 for six needing 455 more runs to win. England's captain Ben Stokes was dismissed leg before wicket by India's Washington Sundar, further tightening India's grip on the match. Akash Deep was the standout bowler for India, taking four wickets and continuing his impressive spell from the previous day. Rain delayed the start of play, but once underway, India needed only four more wickets to level the five-Test series at 1-1. England's strategy of chasing large totals under Stokes' captaincy is being severely tested, as no team has ever successfully chased such a massive target in Test cricket history. India's potential victory would also end a 39-year winless streak at Edgbaston, marking a historic moment for the visitors.
