England and India are set to play their rescheduled Test of the five-match series last year in July. The Edgbaston Test is set to start on July 2. The Indians had taken a 2-1 lead versus England, and a draw or win would help them claim a rare success on English soil. England have changed their identity since their struggles leading up to this year. With Brendon McCullum as coach and Ben Stokes as skipper, England are having a new lease of life. They already took a 2-0 lead versus New Zealand in the ongoing three-match series. So India will face a different England team altogether. For India, they lost the last Test series away from home to South Africa. The Rohit Sharma-led side has the daunting task of overcoming England. Notably, India, who have seven Tests left in the ongoing ICC World Test Championship, must win at least six Tests to have a real chance to qualify for the final. England are already out of contention, but they will be keen to draw the series and show the win versus New Zealand was no fluke.
