England head coach Brendon McCullum admitted that the hosts could not play according to their desire and win the toss first after winning the second Test in the second Test of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy played at Edgbaston and opting to bowl first.

Chasing a record 608 runs, England's side was left at 271 runs in the second session on the fifth day. In India's series, captain Shubman Gill made 269 in the first innings and 161 runs in the second innings, and Akash Deep had taken 10 wickets in the match.

Brandon McCullum said, "We stayed second for five days. India showed an extraordinary game. Shubman Gill performed brilliantly on this pitch. We could not play as we wanted to play and India was fully entitled to win." He said, "Our decision to bowl by winning the toss proved to be wrong. We did not expect that the pitch would play so well."
