Team India is all set to take on England in the first of the five test matches on 04 Aug at Trent Bridge, Nottingham. India had beaten England when they last toured India earlier this year. Can India beat England at home? It will be interesting to watch the battle between the bat and the ball. Will pacers dominate or spinners rule? Hear out my analysis of both teams to know about the likely winner of the series.     

Schedule of Matches: First Test- 04 to 08 Aug // Second Test- 12 to 16 Aug. // Third Test- 25 to 29 Aug. // Fourth Test- 02 to 06 Sep. // Fifth Test- 10 to 14 Sep.

Both teams are strong in their own ways but at present,  England players are showing good form. Only a few Indian batsmen have shown good form. The matches will be well contested. Overall, I find that England is a stronger team due to their lethal pace attack and very consistent batting lineup. Spinners are almost ineffective in English weather conditions which favor the pacers.

The first test is likely to go the England way.
