The pitch at Edgbaston typically favors seamers initially, but spinners could become influential later in the match as the surface deteriorates. England's strong record at the venue adds to the pressure, with weather conditions potentially impacting the seam bowlers early on.

Kuldeep’s X-factor could be crucial if Bumrah is rested. The team faces a tricky balance between batting depth and wicket-taking potency.
