In this article, we will discuss the main points or high lights of India National Cricket Team vs England Cricket Team Stats.

Here are the latest five men’s international cricket matches between India and England, as of July 25, 2025, all from the ongoing five‑Test series in England:

India vs England

India and England cricket series starts on June 2025 and will include five matches. Both teams boast a head-to-head record of 35 wins and 51 draws across 138 Test matches between them, led by skipper Shubman Gill with Rishabh Pant batting brilliantly with broken foot to score double century; Nitish Reddy and Dhruv Jurel youngster also feature prominently.

India have taken a commanding lead in the second innings as KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal continue to frustrate England bowlers. Jaiswal is nearing his fifty, while Rahul has made 31 off 49 balls.

Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley provided England with a solid start with their opening stand of 166 runs in 32 overs – falling just short of centuries in either case – before India finally managed a breakthrough through Ravindra Jadeja and debutant Anshul Kamboj at the end of their day’s play.

Shardul Thakur continues to impress for India as he increases the pace and utilizes his spin skills with success. At one point there was an alarming LBW appeal made against Chris Woakes; however, an umpire wasn’t convinced and reviewed the decision subsequently reversing it and keeping Thakur safe on wicket.

1st Test

Headingley was home to one of the most thrilling Test matches between India and England since 2013, as hosts India came back from an uncertain start to earn a dramatic victory on day five. New captain Shubman Gill led an inexperienced bowling unit which leaked runs at over six per over. Mohammad Siraj struggled for any kind of consistency or rhythm himself.

Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley both excelled, with the former maturing into one of the premier batsmen worldwide while Crawley continues to fulfil the promise he showed when making his Test debut in 2015. Both took risks but never relinquished control, never relenting under pressure.

India had suffered two consecutive days of disastrous batting collapses and so they turned to Rahul and Pant for help in turning things around. Pant started out normally before adapting to his surroundings to form an unbreakable 155-run stand with Rahul.

At first glance it appeared like England were in control until Carse struck in the last over of day four with his dismissal, sending a shockwave through their ranks as they fell 371 runs behind with 10 wickets still available – enough for any side on an average day but not enough for England who now look favourites to come out victorious in this gripping contest – they must survive the new ball period without losing anymore wickets on day five and survive any new ball period that might come into play during day five.

2nd Test

After losing two wickets early, England battled back into this match by using Harry Brook and Jamie Smith’s 303-run partnership for the sixth wicket to gain control. They led England to 407 at the end of day three before India’s spinners led by Henruhta Bhattacharya and Naman Pushpak took control for much of day four.

Yashasvi Jaiswal received a DRS review for leg issues before, and made no errors during his second review – making a wise choice.

Jadeja examined his OBO between overs, then attempted a back-cut against Siraj which didn’t quite succeed – yet still garnered four runs.

Deep starts off the over by bowling two balls just outside Crawley’s off stump but both pass without impact. Later in the over, Deep jags one intended to bowl him, which the umpire signals out, but Ben Stokes protests and it remains official.

Washington Sundar starts his innings off right by hitting an impressive six over midwicket in just his second over.

On the final day, England may find it challenging to bat successfully due to Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj claiming three wickets before tea.

The defending champions will hope for a swift start and finish, in particular their innings. India have an established run rate and total that must be overtaken, and so they’ll need big scores from Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes and Ollie Pope if any hope of saving this game remains. Even then they could find themselves struggling against Bumrah and Jofra Archer who offer formidable attack threats.

3rd Test

England held their nerve to secure an exciting 22-run victory against India at Lord’s, taking a 2-1 advantage in the five-match series. Chasing a modest target of 193, India were bowled out for 170 in their innings after tea on day five; offspinner Shoaib Bashir delivered the decisive blow by dismissing Mohammed Siraj offshoot Shoaib Bashir had spent much of the final session off the field nursing an injury before dismissing Ravindra Jadeja batted unbeaten for an innings that brought India within touching distance but ultimately fell just short in their pursuit of 193.

Early on at Lord’s, Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes struck key blows to put England back in the driving seat. Archer ran in from wide of the crease and angled his bowling towards middle and leg to catch Rishabh Pant off an indecisive prod from Rishabh Pant before blasting through his defence to bowl him for a duck. Stokes removed Washington Sundar and Nitish Reddy to put England close to an epic win.

Indian batsmen struggled to keep pace on a pitch offering limited turn and turning less, until Ravindra Jadeja struck with his unflappable 61. At one point Zak Crawley became animated while accusing Jasprit Bumrah of hitting him on the glove, prompting both teams to exchange some heated words before leaving the ground together.

Trescothick was full of praise after the game for the performance of his side, attributing their success to a strong mindset and team effort. “It was an absolutely fantastic Test match; everyone seemed really invested,” said Trescothick. “There was a real buzz around the ground which provides an extra boost; players responded positively and we have every chance at winning this series.”

4th Test

Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley’s opening partnership put England in control by the end of the second session, while India bowlers such as Anshul Kamboj with the new ball have struggled in difficult conditions to keep a line and length consistent; 12 boundaries have already been scored out of 14 overs batting on Sunday; captain Shubman Gill must now rally his side together before leading them back towards victory for tomorrow’s third session.

Rishabh Pant is fighting back despite suffering an early injury when hit by Chris Woakes’ yorker late on Day 1 and fractured his right toe. It remains to be seen if Rishabh will bat again today or not; with Shardul Thakur and Ravindra Jadeja at the crease as part of the middle order it will need to step up their game accordingly.

England have taken control of this second-innings contest after going wicketless during the opening session and are on 225/2 at day two, trailing India’s total by only 133 runs.

At Old Trafford, rain continues to fall steadily and it appears unlikely any play will take place today. Already signs of the pitch breaking apart have appeared which could present batters with difficulty when they take to bat.

Rishabh Pant has achieved an incredible milestone for Indian wicketkeeping: becoming the first Indian wicketkeeper ever to score over 1000 Test runs away from India and in 21 matches played on British soil, at an average of 58.22 with 30 wickets taken. Now surpassing Garry Sobers as both scorer and wicketkeeper in Test history in England; also becoming the fastest wicketkeeper ever to reach this mark.
