Talking about the match, having won the toss in Edgbaston, Ben Stokes chose to bowl first, after which Anderson got rid of Shubman Gill early, despite him looking dangerous.

Gill's 17-run knock was brought to an abrupt halt in the sixth over when the ball took a healthy edge off his bat and flew straight into the hands of Zak Crawley. Pujara's dismissal was also pretty similar, after which Kohli and Hanuma Vihari tried to rebuild for India before rain forced play into a halt, with the Men in Blue at 53/2.
