IND vs ENG Test match: What time will England vs India 2nd Test start? What are the session timings?
India face a crucial decision on whether to play top-ranked Test bowler Jasprit Bumrah in the second Test against England at Edgbaston starting Wednesday, as they aim to level the five-match series following their five-wicket loss at Headingley. The decision is particularly significant as Bumrah, returning from a back injury, had initially planned to play only three of the five Tests.
Bumrah's performance in the first Test was mixed, taking 5-83 in the first innings but failing to secure any wickets in the second as England successfully chased down 371 runs.

"Bumrah is ready to play," India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said. "It's how we manage these four Tests. So if we feel like there's value in playing him in this Test, we'll make that call at the very last minute."
India, who have lost seven of their 11 Tests under coach Gautam Gambhir, might bring in left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav, who has taken 56 wickets at 22.16 in 13 Tests.
The team's performance at Headingley was marked by a batting collapses of 7-41 and 6-31, making them the first side in over 60,000 first-class matches to score five individual hundreds and still lose.
Their fielding struggles were evident as they dropped several catches, particularly of Harry Brook, who was dropped three times before scoring 99 in England's first innings.
New captain Shubman Gill scored 147 in the first innings, but leadership issues emerged as other players appeared to share captaincy duties.
England have named an unchanged team after achieving the tenth-highest fourth-innings chase in Test history. Despite having Jofra Archer in their Edgbaston squad, England chose not to end his four-year Test absence due to injuries.
