Sunday proved to be a miserable day for Team India as rain has left them with a good chance of winning the first match of the five-match Test series against England. On the fifth and final day, due to rain and bad weather, not even one ball could be thrown and both teams had to share points in the end. Under the new World Test Championship stage point system, both teams have earned four points each. Currently, India tops the list with 4 points, while England is second with the same number.

Of the possible 450 overs, bad weather could bowl only 250 in the first Test. England had set India a target of 209, with the visiting team scoring 52 for one wicket until the end of the fourth day. In the match, a lot of overs were washed away by the rain, which saw Virat Kohli and his team win the game by 12 points.

Despite the cloudy weather and favorable conditions for seam and swing, it is not easy for England to stop chasing India. Opener Lokesh Rahul, who scored 84 in the first innings of India, said it was challenging to run but was unable to bat. However, India has plenty of positives in the first Test. India have always lost the first Test in England in the recent past, except for the 2007 and 2014 series, and in this sense the result could be called a good result.
