3 IND vs ENG Tests that went down the wire
The England-India Test rivalry, now named the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, has produced some of the most thrilling encounters in cricket history.
2. India tour of England, 2018 - Birmingham Test
The 2018 Birmingham Test between England and India was one of the nerve-wracking games. The contest witnessed the momentum swinging both ways till the fourth day before England eventually beat India by just 31 runs.
India were chasing 194 on a tough pitch with Virat Kohli leading the fight. Kohli, who had already scored a sensational 149 in the first innings, scored a 51 in the second. But Ben Stokes dismissed the Indian captain and broke India's back. Despite Hardik Pandya’s late fight, England sealed the win as the last three wickets added just 21 runs. Sam Curran earned the Player of the Match award for his all-round brilliance.
This Test remains one of the closest India-England contests, with its drama, grit, and edge-of-the-seat thrill. Notably, this is the third narrowest Test result between the two countries.
