The latest meeting happened in 2022 when the Baz-ball counter punch cruised England to a 7-wicket win, where they chased down 378, marking their highest ever run-chase in the history of Test cricket. India’s record at Edgbaston is completely depressing, without a single victory in the longest format. Will they record their first Test win at the venue next month and level the series 1-1? Will they create history in the forthcoming Edgbaston Test? Fingers crossed if you are an Indian fan.

Courtesy of special centuries in the 4th innings from Joe Root (142*) and Johnny Bairstow (114*), they mastered the run chase of 378 effortlessly in just 76.4 overs at a run rate of 4.93. Remember, they gave away the 1st innings lead of 132. This was the phase when Brandon McCullum and Ben Stokes were appointed as the Head Coach and Captain, respectively. Jonny Bairstow was named the Player of the match for his twin centuries in the Test. Rishabh Pant (146 ) and Ravindra Jadeja (104) rescued India from early collapse in the 1st innings, stitching a 222-run stand for the 6th wicket.
2. August 01-04, 2018 – England won by 31 runs
The Edgbaston Test marked the beginning of a 5-match Test series between England and India in 2018. Three Lions went 1-0 up with a 31-run victory. They successfully defended 194 in the 4th innings to take an early lead. Virat Kohli’s 149 in the 1st innings and 51 in the 2nd innings were overshadowed by Sam Curran’s magnificent all-round display, who was named the Player of the Match for his match figures of 87 runs and 5 wickets. The game ended even before lunch on the 4th day of the Test.
3. August 10-13, 2011 – England won by innings & 242 runs
The Edgbaston Test during India’s Tour of England back in 2011 was played in August between the 10th and 13th, where hosts England wrapped up the contest by an innings and 242 runs, their highest margin of victory in the ENG vs IND head-to-head at Edgbaston.
After being asked to bat first, India bowled out for 224 on the first day itself. In response, riding on Alastair Cook’s talismanic 294 and Eoin Morgan’s 104, they posted a humongous 710 for 7 before declaring the innings. With the combined bowling efforts, they dismantled India in the 3rd innings at a score of 244. James Anderson (4 wickets), Stuart Broad ( 2 wickets), and Graeme Swann (2 wickets) got the honours. For India, MS Dhoni was the lone wolf, scoring 77 & 74 in the Test. The win took England to 3-0 up in the series and guided them to a Test series win with a game left.
Nature of the Edgbaston Surface
The batters will have the best seat in the house where they will get plenty of purchase for shot making as the days go by. Having said that, the batters need to be extra cautious in the first hour of play, with high chances of losing wickets. Seamers will get maximum assistance and are likely to get the majority of the wickets in the upcoming Edgbaston Test, while the spinners are unlikely to threaten the batters.
Final Words
We are less than a week away from the forthcoming Edgbaston Test. India’s record at Edgbaston is horrifying, with zero wins. They are aiming for their first Test victory at the venue, hence ENG vs IND Head-to-Head at Edgbaston will be in focus.
