On 25 June 1932, India started its journey in international Cricket as a Test-playing nation, making its debut against England at Lord's. The series is fought over two trophies: 

Anthony de Mello Trophy:
This trophy was awarded for the Test series played between India and England when the series is held in India.
 
Pataudi Trophy:
This trophy was awarded when the Test series between India and England is played in England.
 
In June 2025, the ECB and BCCI decided to award the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy to the winning team.
 
 
2021 ENG v IND Tests

The 5 Test series ended in a draw. India led 2–1 before the 5th Test was postponed due to COVID-19.

Joe Root scored 3 centuries and was England’s standout batter. Rohit Sharma hit his first overseas Test ton at The Oval. Bumrah, Siraj, and Shami led India’s fiery pace attack.

In the delayed 5th Test in July 2022, England under Ben Stokes chased 378, their highest successful run chase in Tests.
