Sunday, July 6: What is the weather forecast for Day 5 in Edgbaston?

The final day could be touch-and-go. Morning rain are very likely till 11 am. The precipitation is expected to drop thereafter.

With a cloud cover and the chance of rain at 60%, the day's play might get shortened. Temperatures will be cooler with a low of 12°C and weather disruptions may play a role in determining the Test's outcome.

Will the weather affect the outcome of Edgbaston Test?

While two out of the five days look good for cricket, rain on Days 1, 4, and 5 could reduce playing time. If both teams manage strong sessions on the clearer days, a result is still possible.

But if showers on Saturday and Sunday are heavier than expected, a draw cannot be ruled out.
