India tour of England 2025: Top Fantasy XI for 2nd Test | Expert Fantasy Tips

England and India are set to play the 2nd Test of their five-match series at Edgbaston, Birmingham, from July 2 to July 6, 2025. The match will start at 3:30 PM IST.

England began the series on a strong note with a five-wicket win in the first Test at Headingley. Captain Ben Stokes chose to bowl first, and England’s batters did a great job. Ollie Pope scored a brilliant century, Harry Brook made 99, and Ben Duckett added a half-century, helping England post 465 runs. Their bowlers kept pressure on India and helped chase the target on the final day. Jofra Archer was expected to return but has been ruled out again, so England will likely keep the same team for the second Test.

India will look to bounce back after losing the first Test despite some strong performances. Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Shubman Gill all scored centuries, and India put up big totals of 471 and 364 in their two innings. However, the team lost quick wickets in both innings, especially at the end. Jasprit Bumrah will miss the second Test, which is a big setback for India. To improve their performance, the team might bring in some changes, especially in the bowling department and lower order.
