India Dominates Sessions but Loses Test Series to England
4 Aug
Summary
- India led majority of sessions but lost 1-3 to England
- Spirited India fought back after England needed just 57 runs to win
- Rain pushes final Test to day five with momentum in India's favor

As of August 4th, 2025, the Indian cricket team has put up a promising performance in the five-match Test series against England, but is nearing a 1-3 loss. The team, led by Shubman Gill, has won the majority of sessions during the series, dubbed the "Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy." However, they have struggled to convert these session wins into overall victories.
The series has been a rollercoaster ride for India. They suffered a five-wicket defeat in the first game before registering a dominating 336-run win in the second. The visitors then lost the third game by 22 runs and followed it up with a thrilling draw in the fourth match.
In the final Test, a spirited India has once again found a way to fight back. After England needed just 57 runs to complete the chase at tea, India's bowlers, led by Mohammed Siraj, refused to give up. The old ball started aiding the pacers, and the scoreboard hardly moved. With the new ball just 3.4 overs away, rain stopped play, pushing the series-deciding final Test to day five.

As former India captain Sunil Gavaskar rightly pointed out, "It is the result that matters." While India has dominated many sessions, the team will ultimately be judged by the final series outcome. The stage is set for a thrilling finale, with the momentum firmly in India's favor.
