IND vs Eng 2nd Test Day 5 Pitch Report: The Edgbaston Test between India and England has reached a very exciting turn. In such a situation, how will the mood of this beautiful stadium of Birmingham be, let’s know-
IND vs Eng 2nd Test Day 5 Pitch Report: At present, the second match of the five -match Test series between India and England is being played at the Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham. The fifth day of Edgbaston Test is going to be very important as it is almost difficult for England to reach the target of 608 runs here.
This is a very big target in the history of Test cricket and the England cricket team will be able to achieve it only when the team is shown exceptional performance which is difficult. However, how is the mood of the pitch on the last day in Birmingham, this can affect the results of the match.
How will the pitch behave on the fifth day of Edgbaston Test?
Let us tell you that Edgbaston’s pitch benefits both the bowler and the batsman during the Test match, who is considered balanced. The first 2 days of fast speed and jump were seen here. On the fifth day, there is more likely to emerge on the pitch, which can help the spinner a lot here. So on the last day of the match, the role of Team India spinners is going to be more important.
As far as the surface is concerned, there is grass on the wicket here, which helps the seam and swing bowlers initially, but as the match progresses, the surface here becomes flat. If the sky is cloudy, the Duke ball offers movements and carry to fast bowlers.
England will chase 608 runs?
There has never been a target of 400 runs in the history of Test cricket on the grounds of Birmingham till date. The most successful run chase so far here is 378 runs which England did against India in July 2022. In such a situation, it is very difficult for England to reach a target of 608 runs on the fifth day of Edgbaston Test. Now England can save only a miracle in this match.
Stumps on Day 4.

If we talk about the biggest score made on the fifth and last day of Test cricket, then in 2001, 459 runs were scored in a Test between Australia and New Zealand, but never became the last day of the history of Test cricket.
