Under the fresh leadership of captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, England scripted a historic win when they successfully chased down the massive 378-run target against India in the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The hosts exhibited an attacking brand of cricket and completed the task on the final day, with former skipper Joe Root and explosive batter Jonny Bairstow smashing unbeaten🌳 centuries to help England level the series 2-2.
Notably, the one-off Test match was part of the five-match series that was halted due to COVID-19 in 2021. The tourists left England after the 4th Test due to COVID-19 ♚cases in their camp. Though India ended up losing the fifth Test, it was still a big achievement as they didn’t lose the series.
