Jimmy Anderson insists new-look England will go on the attack again at Edgbaston today despite staring down the barrel of defeat against India.

Ben Stokes’ side trail the tourists by 332 runs with just five first-innings wickets remaining after a chastening second day of the rearranged fifth Test, which they already trail 2-1.

However, Jonny Bairstow – who has scored quick-fire back-to-back hundreds – remains at the crease for the hosts, and he has been joined by skipper Stokes after nightwatchman Jack Leach fell late on.
