Shubman Gill-led Team India, after a disappointing loss against England in the first of the ongoing five-match Test series in Leeds, will now take the field at Edgbaston, Birmingham for the second Test starting Wednesday, July 2, with just one aim in mind — to win the match and level the series 1-1. However, it will not be as easy a task as they might expect, given that in their complete history of Test matches against England, they have not won a single game at this venue. So far, India have played eight Test matches at this venue against the hosts and have lost seven of them. They only have one draw, which came back in 1986.
