All you need to know about the India-England Test series

England's Test form coming into this series is also a cause for concern. Since September 2017, England have only won one out of nine Tests against Australia, New Zealand and Pakistan.

India would be driven by the desire to shed the poor travellers' tag, while England would be desperate to arrest the recent slide at home when the two teams clash in a five-match Test series, starting at Birmingham tomorrow.

The English side will be celebrating its 1000th Test at Edgbaston, and it will be up to world No.1 India to spoil the home party.

India last won a Test series in England in 2007 under Rahul Dravid, and it will be no easy task ahead of the Virat Kohli-led side to duplicate that feat.

Under Mahendra Singh Dhoni, India failed in 2011 and 2014, losing by heavy 4-0 and 3-1 margins, respectively. In fact, India have only won six out of the 57 matches on English soil.
