The cricket team must decide if they want to risk playing him again after he just came back from a serious back injury. Bumrah stands as the best Test bowler on the planet right now. He planned to play just three out of five matches against England from the start. Team coaches will make their final call at the very last moment. England crushed India during the first Test match at Headingley despite Bumrah taking five wickets. Ben Duckett smashed 149 runs as England chased down a massive target of 371 runs. India collapsed twice when they had strong positions during their batting turns. The visitors dropped several easy catches that hurt their chances badly. Harry Brook escaped three times before scoring 99 crucial runs for England. Shubman Gill led India for the first time as captain and scored 147 runs himself. Other players like Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul seemed to give orders during the match instead of following Gill. Former cricket experts noticed there appeared to be multiple captains on the field. India might bring spinner Kuldeep Yadav into the team for the next match. England decided to keep the same eleven players who won the first game. Chris Woakes will lead England's bowling attack without the retired legends James Anderson and Stuart Broad. The home team feels confident after completing one of the highest fourth-innings chases in cricket history. Jamie Smith finished the match with a six to win it for England. Jofra Archer remains out of the team despite being named in the squad. Both teams prepare for another intense battle at Edgbaston ground. [/QUOTE]
