The second Test match between India and England, which has been eagerly awaited, will commence at Edgbaston on July 2. Following an exciting first day of the series, England is up 1-0 after a spectacular 371-run chase on the last day. It was a forceful declaration from the hosts and a disappointing beginning for India under skipper Shubman Gill. After veterans Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin retired from the longest format, the 25-year-old took the helm for India for the first time in Test cricket. A new era in Indian cricket has begun with their absence, and the strain is already building. With both sides keen to establish dominance in this developing rivalry, the historical India vs. England head-to-head record will once again come into focus as the teams prepare for the second Test at a location notorious for creating outcomes.
How many times have England and India faced off against one another?
The tale changes greatly depending on the location, even if the figures generally favor England. With 26 of their 35 victories coming on spin-friendly courses, India has established a stronghold at home. However, England has dominated at their home field, winning 37 of their 52 games in circumstances that are favorable to seamers. Every Test, including the next match at Edgbaston, has the potential to become a classic because of the rivalry's ongoing evolution due to the opposing strengths and events at play.
1st Test, 2025 – Headingley, Leeds
India batted first and amassed 471 runs thanks to hundreds from skipper Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. With Harry Brook barely missing his century with 99 and Ollie Pope hitting a hundred, England rallied and fell down by only 6 runs. KL Rahul added a beautiful century and Pant got another century in the second innings. After chasing 371 with poise, England won by 5 wickets thanks to 149 from Ben Duckett, 65 from Crawley, and a final flourish from Jamie Smith.
5th Test, 2024 – HPCA Stadium, Dharamsala
With an innings and 64-run victory, India concluded the series in grand fashion. Padikkal and Sarfaraz scored fluid fifties, while Rohit Sharma and Gill struck dominant hundreds. India's all-around domination was too strong for England to match, as spin and speed combined to dismiss the visitors in four days and decisively end the series.
4th Test, 2024 – JSCA Stadium, Ranchi
India's tenacious five-wicket victory sealed the series. Under pressure, Dhruv Jurel played a tough knock of 90 in a low-scoring match. Despite a few stressful moments late on, the Indian spinners brilliantly controlled the game, particularly in the fourth innings, when they caused England to collapse and assisted India in chasing down the goal.
3rd Test, 2024 – Rajkot
India defeated England by a record 434 runs, utterly outplaying them. While debutant Sarfaraz Khan made an impression with 50 in both innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal was once again the highlight with an incredible 214*. In order to achieve one of their greatest victories in recent memory, India's bowling attack destroyed the English batting order in both innings.
2nd Test, 2024 – Visakhapatnam
India won by a commanding 106 runs to tie the series. Yashasvi Jaiswal established a significant first innings total with a commanding 209. India recovered from the first loss with a commanding victory thanks to a five-wicket haul from Ravindra Jadeja in the second innings, which stole the show.
