The ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between England and India has featured notable individual performances and competitive team efforts across its first three Tests. In the first Test at Headingley, England successfully chased a target of 371 runs, the 10th highest in Test cricket history, securing a five-wicket victory. Ben Duckett was instrumental in this win, scoring a match-winning century in the fourth innings. The second Test at Edgbaston saw a remarkable batting display from England's Jamie Smith and Harry Brook, who forged a 303-run partnership for the sixth wicket, the second-highest such stand in England's Test history and a record for the venue. Both players scored unbeaten centuries, with Smith registering his second Test century off 80 balls, the fastest by an Englishman against India. Despite this, India’s Mohammed Siraj delivered a standout bowling performance, claiming a six-wicket haul—the first by an Indian pacer at Edgbaston since 1993 and the third-best by an overseas fast bowler at the ground—helping India to a 180-run first innings lead after bowling England out for 407. In the third Test at Lord's, England wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith continued his strong form, scoring his sixth Test fifty and becoming just the third England wicketkeeper to surpass 400 runs in a Test series. India’s Jasprit Bumrah made a significant impact with a five-wicket haul, his maiden at Lord's and 15th overall in Tests, helping bowl England out for 387 in their first innings and putting India in command. At the close of day two, India reached 145/3 with KL Rahul unbeaten on 53, trailing England by 242 runs. Ravindra Jadeja also climbed to fifth place among India’s highest international wicket-takers during the series. The series remains highly competitive with both teams showcasing strong individual and collective performances.
