Match drawn Trent Bridge,Nottingham Umpires:Kumar Dharmasena (SL) andBruce Oxenford (Aus) Player of the match:James Anderson (Eng) |
The 1st Test was a dull affair after the pitch proved to be difficult to bowl on. India won the toss and with the help ofMurali Vijay's first century outside India and a 10th-wicket stand of 111 runs fromBhuvneshwar Kumar andMohammed Shami, India scored 457.Alastair Cook's poor form with the bat continued and England were at 298/9 late on day 3, but a Test-record 198-run partnership betweenJames Anderson andJoe Root for the final wicket helped them to a lead of 39 runs by the end of the innings. On the morning of the fifth day, some incisive bowling from England led to a possibility of a result. However, a half-century fromStuart Binny on his Test debut meant the match resulted in a draw, but not before Cook brought himself on to bowl, taking his maiden Test wicket in his second over.[citation needed]
At the end of the match, it was reported that India had complained against Anderson of physical abuse againstRavindra Jadeja at lunch on day 2, which led to level 3 charges being brought against Anderson and level 2 against Jadeja. The hearing was to be held on 22 July after the end of the 2nd Test.[11] The charge against Jadeja was later reduced to level 1 and he was fined 50 percent of his match fee. The BCCI appealed against the fine and after a six-hour hearing over video conference, both players were found not guilty.[12]

India won by 95 runs Lord's,London Umpires:Kumar Dharmasena (SL) andBruce Oxenford (Aus) Player of the match:Ishant Sharma (Ind) |
England inserted India on a green wicket and soon had them reeling at 145/7 in the second session of the match. However, a century byAjinkya Rahane and a good knock by Bhuvneshwar Kumar led India to 295. England rode onGary Ballance's second Test century to take a narrow lead. Fifties from Murali Vijay, Ravindra Jadeja and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in India's second innings meant England required 319 to win the Test. England captain Cook's poor form continued and England ended day 4 needing 209 runs with six wickets in hand. With the last ball before lunch on the final day,Ishant Sharma gotMoeen Ali out to a bouncer; India continued to pepper England with relentless short-pitched bowling, and within an hour of play restarting, England were all out. After the match, England wicket-keeperMatt Prior announced that he would step down for the rest of the summer due to injury.[13] This was India's first overseas Test win for three years.

England won by 266 runs The Rose Bowl,Southampton Umpires:Marais Erasmus (SA) andRod Tucker (Aus) Player of the match:James Anderson (Eng) |
This was the first Test match played in England to start on a Sunday.[4] The third Test of the series was dominated by England right from the start. England posted a strong first-innings total, helped by centuries fromIan Bell and Ballance, combined with a quick debut half-century byJos Buttler and a return to form for Cook, before they declared with 14 overs remaining on the second day. In India's first innings, all the batsmen got starts, but a failure to capitalise on them meant that England had a 229-run lead. Thanks to Cook and a quick-fire fifty from Joe Root, England were able to declare for the second time on the stroke of tea on the fourth day, setting India a target of 445 runs for victory. India lost four wickets in the evening session, before Moeen Ali rattled through the lower order before lunch on day 5, resulting in India's worst batting display on the tour up to that point. Ali finished with figures of 8/129 for the match, and England won their first Test in 10 attempts.[14]
