The fifth day's play of the ongoing second Test between India and England is all set to kick off at 5.10 PM IST and 12.40 PM local time after a rain delay of around one hour and forty minutes. The much-anticipated contest couldn't get a scheduled start, with rain playing spoilsport at Edgbaston in Birmingham. 

Ten overs have officially been lost; thus, it will be an eighty-over contest on the final day in Birmingham.
