The hosts will be looking to steal the ODI series after a loss in the T20I. Kiwi skipper Kane Williamson, who missed the last T20I is set to be back as captain for the ODI series. However, the squad of Blackcaps is looking pretty good with Conway and Allen set to open the innings. Tom Latham is also in the squad and can bat at the top with replacing Allen or Conway. Then skipper Kane Williamson, Glenn Philips, and Daryl Mitchell will bat in the middle while James Neesham and Santner will act as all-rounders.

Currently, the record for the fastest Indians to score 2000 test runs is jointly held by Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid, accomplishing it in 40 innings. 

Let's look at the elite list of players who previously set the standard by being the fastest Indians to reach 2000 test runs.

Young Yashasvi Jaiswal has been one of the brightest prospects of the Indian test cricket team since his debut. The 23-year-old just equalled the record for the fastest 2000 test run by an Indian during the second inning of the Edgbaston test against England. 

With an outstanding batting average of 53.10, Yashasvi now has 2018 runs in just 21 test matches. In his young career, the southpaw opener has scored 5 test centuries, among which three came in away conditions.

India faced their biggest defeat at the Edgbaston Stadium when they returned to the ground after 16 years. 

MS Dhoni's men, who were then the World's No.1 test team, just could not handle England's batting powerhouse and surrendered against the home side. 

Indian batters, except for MS Dhoni (77), failed in the first inning as India only managed 224 in the first inning. In reply, Alastair Cook scored his career best 294 from 545 balls to help England score 710/7 before they declared. 

Eoin Morgan also scored a ton for England in that inning. 

In the second inning, MS Dhoni again shone with the bat with an unbeaten 74 from 79 balls, but it was not enough for India to avoid a humiliating defeat. 

India were whitewashed by 0-4 in the series.

This was the closest India came to winning a test match at Edgbaston Stadium. 

After that humiliating defeat 7 years ago, Virat Kohli's men were desperate to turn things around for India. With two young captains (Joe Root and Virat Kohli) at their helm, world cricket saw one of the most contested test matches in Birmingham. 

Root scored 80 while Jonny Bairstow scored 70 for England as they scored 287 in the first inning. Ravichandran Ashwin picked up 4 while Mohammed Shami picked up 3 wickets for India. 

In reply, Kohli scored a staggering 149, but other batters failed to contribute much as the men in blue were bundled out for 274. Sam Curran picked up 4 wickets for the home side.

Indian bowlers replied with aggression as they were able to bowl England out for 180 in the second inning. But if it was not for Sam Curran's 63 from 65 balls, they could have been all out below 100. 

Ishant Sharma picked up 51/5. 

But, after Kohli's dismissal on 51 from 93 balls, the Indian batting order could not handle the pressure and eventually lost the match by 31 runs. 

England won the series 4-1.

England's domination in Birmingham continued as they remained unbeaten in all 8 test matches against India there. 

India were missing Rohit Sharma, who had tested positive for Covid-19, as Jasprit Bumrah created history as the first pacer to captain India in Tests since the legendary Kapil Dev in 1987.

India scored 416 in the first inning after Rishabh Pant (146) and Ravindra Jadeja (104) scored tons for them. 

But Jonny Bairstow's 106 kept England in the game, despite getting them bowled out for 284. Mohammed Siraj took 66/4 for India. 

Cheteshwar Pujara, who opened in the match, scored 66 while Pant scored 57 to take India to 245 in the second inning. 

But, England managed to chase 378, their highest successful chase in Test cricket, as Joe Root (142*) and Bairstow (114*) played an incredible innings for the hosts. 

However, despite the defeat, India managed to draw the series 2-2.

Smriti Mandhana played a sensational 112-run inning from just 62 balls, which included 15 fours and 3 sixes. This is also the highest score by any Indian Women player in T20Is. The previous best was Harmanpreet Kaur's 103 against New Zealand in 2018. 

Earlier in the day, Harmanpreet Kaur was ruled out of the first T20I of the series as a precaution taken by the team after she suffered a head injury during the practice game against the ECB Select XI. Sneh Rana handed the debut cap to left-arm spinner N Shree Charani. 

Harleen Kaur also scored a quick-fire 43 from 23 balls, to help India score 210/5 in the first inning.
