England vs India 5th Test Day 2 Highlights: England were 84 for five at stumps on the second day of the rain-hit rescheduled fifth Test against India on Saturday. Jonny Bairstow and skipper Ben Stokes were batting on 12 and 0 respectively with England still trailing India by 332 runs. Following up his world record-breaking carnage with the bat, the visitors’ fast-bowling captain Jasprit Bumrah (3/35) led from the front in his primary job, taking three English wickets, while Mohammed Shami (1/33) and Mohammed Siraj (1/5) took one wicket each. Earlier, Bumrah bludgeoned a hapless Stuart Broad for 29 runs to create a world record for maximum runs off a single over in Test cricket, beating the legendary Brian Lara’s feat by one run. The over yielded 35 runs with six extra runs.

That's it. That's all she wrote for Day 2 as Bumrah bowls the last over and concedes just a single. It's India's day and it's their captain Bumrah's day. ENG are tottering. ENG 84/5 after 27 overs.
And gone!!! The nightwatchman is gone. Very well bowled by Shami. Wobbled a bit after the nick and Pant takes the catch.England in a spot of bother. ENG 83/5 after 25.3 overs.
Shami comes to bowl Jack Leach and creates a chance there but Virat Kohli drops an easy one this time. Shami follows it up by bowling down the leg side and Leach gets a four. ENG 83/4 after 24 overs.
Siraj gets the big fish, he takes the wicket of Joe Root. It's a crucial breakthrough for the Indian team. Pant takes an easy catch and does the rest. ENG 78/4 after 23 overs.
Huge shout for an LBW on Root as the onfield umpire isn't interested. Shami seems convinced and it's going over the stumps. The review is wasted. ENG 78/3 after 22 overs.
Shami in to bowl the 20th over and he will be bowling to Root. No runs off this over as the England batter struggles to play the seamer. First maiden over of the England innings. ENG 77/3 after 20 overs
Joe Root gets two boundaries against Shami. He hits the last one towards the cover and gets the result. England batters will be looking g to build a strong partnership now. ENG 68/3 after 16 overs.
The game will start at 10:30 pm. The covers have come off now.
Seems like the rain has stopped. The umpires will take a quick look now. They will be inspecting the field at 9.55 pm.
According to reports, the rain has eased and an inspection has been scheduled for 9.30 pm IST which is 17.00 pm local time. Let's see when the match starts again.
The rain shows no signs of slowing down as we wait for an update. Tea will probably be taken soon but there's no word when the match can start or when the rain will end.
As we wait for the rain to stop and the match to begin, here's a look back at the highlights from Day 1. Enjoy.
It's raining again and the players are stepping into the change room. The pitch has been covered now. ENG 60/3 after 15.1 overs.
Bumrah takes his third wicket of the match as he scalps the wicket of Pope. This is great bowling by the skipper! ENG 45/3 after 12 overs.
There are chances that the game might be extended by a maximum of 30 minutes.
Back live again as Joe Root starts with a boundary straight off the bat. 5 runs off this over ultimately. ENG 35/2 after 7 overs
It's stopped raining and umpires are on the field to assess the conditions. We are hoping to get an update pretty soon. Till then, we wait again.
It's still raining in Edbaston as we wait for the skies to clear. This might be a longer delay than the last one. Hopefully we don't lose overs but that might be the case again tonight.
Just as the match was getting interesting the drizzle is back again as the players head for cover while the ground is also covered up. We wait again.
And that's gone. Bumrah as done Crawley in. Edged and is taken by Gill in the slip. Bumrah is suddenly on a hattrick now. What a match he is having. ENG 27/2 after 4.1 overs
Back live and Crawley is welcomed by a sizzler by Shami which beats everyone and goes for 4 byes. Four more in the last over. ENG 27/1 after 4 overs
Update: If there is no more rain, play to restart at 1:15PM local time (17:45 IST) according to BCCI's official Twitter handle. Well, fingers crossed.
Robin Peterson, who before today, conceded the highest runs (28) in an over in Test cricket history directed a cheeky dig at Stuart Broad, saying " Sad to lose my record today. Oh well, records are made to be broken I guess. Onto the next one."
Michael Atherton decodes the current trend of high-scoring totals in Tests in England in recent times.
According to reports, much like yesterday, the rain has forced an early lunch to be takem. India will be happy with the work done so far and will hope to continue the form.
The players are walking back to the pavilion as rain stops play as soon as the wicket fell. The covers are on and we'll provide an update as soon as it becomes available.
Bumrah strikes!!! Lees is gone!!! Bumrah draws first blood and just what India needed. England lose one opener early as rain stops play.
James Anderson bags his 32nd fifer in Tests. He's now sixth in the all-time list, behind Muralitharan, Warne, Hadlee, Kumble and Herath.
Lees and Crawley are at the crease. Lees is on strike. Bumrah will open the attack. Just 2 runs from that over as Shami comes in to bowl the 2nd over. Lees hits the first four of the innings to hand England a steady start. ENG 7/0 after 2 overs
35*: Jasprit Bumrah vs Stuart Broad
28: Keshav Maharaj vs Joe Root
28: George Bailey vs James Anderson
28: Brian Lara vs Robin Peterson
Jimmy Anderson picks Mohammed Siraj and yet another five-wicket haul. And with that India's first innings comes to an end. Where once 200 looked doubtful, 416 is the reality.
World Record by Jasprit Bumrah: 35 runs in an over. Most in an over in a Test match. 28 was the highest before: Lara (off Robin Peterson), Bailey (Anderson), and Keshav Maharaj (off Root). Broad gave 6 sixes to Yuvraj in a T20; now 35 runs in an over
Anderson gets his fourth and a BIG wicket for England!
Jadeja misses the swinging-in-the-air full delivery completely. A standing ovation for the southpaw from the Edgbaston crowd. India, 375/9.
Two Test centuries in a calendar year by an India batter at seven or lower:
Kapil Dev in 1986
MS Dhoni in 2009
Harbhajan Singh in 2010
Ravindra Jadeja in 2022 *
Kapil Dev: 1986
MS Dhoni: 2009
Harbhajan Singh: 2010
Ravindra Jadeja: 2022 *
Just when it looked like India were sailing strong for more early on day two, Mohammad Shami helps the ball to the third man. Stuart Broad gets his first wicket of the match, India 371/8 after 80 overs.
There comes out the sword!The Indian dugout stands and the applauds an absolutely brilliantly hundred this from Ravindra Jadeja. As does the rest of Edgbaston crowdn. Came in to bat when India were five down for 98. Has propelled India closer to 400 now. What a fine-fine batter he has been for India in this format over the last couple of years!
England are well aware of the damage Mohammad Shami can do with the bat. Matty Potts is just getting a feel of it. Consecutive boundaries for India's number nine. 350 up for India. 351/7 after 77 overs.
A run in the first over of the day for India. England have started with a relatively defensive setup trying to stop the runs from flowing early. 339/7 after 74 overs.
Day 1 of the one-off and series decider Test started off with India being pinned down to 98-5 by James Anderson and Matty Potts. Rishabh Pant then took the wheel, partnered by Ravindra Jadeja. A fastest Test hundred by an Indian keeper batter brought the screaming best out of even Rahul Dravid and powered India through 300. With his wicket, and a quick Shardul Thakur dismissal that followed, England have found a way back into the game. All eyes will be on Ravindra Jadeja (83* off 163) as India look to juice most out of their premium all-rounder and a tail that can bat. England on the other hand, will once again look to the Anderson-Broad duo and Potts who picked his 16th Test wicket in his 4th match to clean up the tail early in the first session. One eye has to be on the BBC weather forecast that indicates a 64% probability of showers early today in Birmingham. Here's to the hope that no more overs are deducted from the match. With the scoreboard reading 338/7 after 73 overs, over to cricket.
