India have a fair few puzzles to solve before they take the field in the 2nd Test at Edgbaston
"A FORTRESS. They call it a Fortress," Pat Cummins had laughed sitting in the away dressing room of Edgbaston six years ago. Australia had just beaten England in the first Ashes Test in 2019. The moment, candidly captured in the first season of "The Test" documentary on Amazon Prime that followed the Australian men's team, went viral and continues to do so even now, especially whenever England lose at Edgbaston. That, however, does not happen as often. There was a reason why English fans and the team called Birmingham a 'fortress'. Between the Ashes losses in 2001 and 2019, England had lost just one Test at the venue. Since then, they have lost two more — once against Australia again in 2023 and once versus New Zealand in 2021.
