England have already sealed the 3-match Test series against the West Indies. After winning the first two matches, rather comfortably, the third Test takes place at the iconic Edgbaston Cricket Stadium, Birmingham.

England started off the series with a convincing win at Lord's. Gus Atkinson was the chief destroyer as his 7-wicket haul in the first innings changed the complexion of the game.

Moreover, it was also the last ever Test match for the great James Anderson, who retired from international cricket. The second Test was a bit close though, but England once again prevailed in a one-sided affair.

Perhaps one of the few cricket grounds in England which support swing bowling. It is a paradise for the bowlers, but because of the Bazball era, the run-scoring has increased. Talking about the ground, a total of 55 matches have been played, with the batting first team winning 18.

Also, the highest team total at this venue has been 710/7, which was slammed by England Vs India in the infamous 2011 series. Ironically, England chased down the highest team total (378/3) vs India as well in 2022.
