Sunshine is expected early in the Test, with a chance of rain disruptions later in the week. Expect high scores and another fast-paced Test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83d\udcca Match Odds (approx.)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Outcome<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Odds<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Implied Probability<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>England to win<\/td><td>8\/13 (1.62)<\/td><td>~61%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>India to win<\/td><td>2\/1 (3.00)<\/td><td>~25%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Draw<\/td><td>7\/1 (8.00)<\/td><td>~12%<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udfaf Betting Tips<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>England to win @ 8\/13<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In form, unchanged XI, home advantage.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Joe Root to score 1st innings century @ 5\/1<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Loves Edgbaston: 970 Test runs at this venue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rishabh Pant 1st innings 50+ @ 9\/4 or century @ 6\/1<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Hit twin tons at Headingley.
