England, recovering from a top-order collapse, is on the verge of a series sweep against the West Indies at Edgbaston. Despite Jamie Smith missing out on a maiden Test century, England’s strong batting performance and early wickets in the West Indies’ second innings put them in a commanding position.
The West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first in the third Test against England at Edgbaston, hoping to avoid a series sweep. England, with an unassailable 2-0 lead, kept their winning team from the second Test unchanged. The West Indies made one change, bringing in spinner Gudakesh Motie for the injured Kevin Sinclair.
Following Indian captain Rohit Sharma’s desire to play Test matches in neutral venues, multiple iconic English cricket stadiums have expressed interest in hosting a bilateral Test series between India and Pakistan. Lord’s, The Oval, and Edgbaston have reportedly shown keenness in having the historic rivalry played on their grounds.
