IND vs ENG 1st Test: Leeds pitch report, highest score, Headingley stats
A new captain. A bold coach. A team in flux. When India takes on England in the five-Test Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy starting Friday at Headingley, Leeds, the series promises more than just cricket—it promises a turning point. Shubman Gill, just 25, steps into the leadership void left by Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma with a side that's a blend of fresh legs and battle-scarred veterans. For Gill, it's not just a debut series as captain—it's a baptism by fire against a side that has redefined Test batting under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum. When the first ball is bowled at 3:30 PM IST today, all eyes will be on captain Gill, but for the Indian skipper, it will be a chance to start a new era in the longest format of cricket for India. So, Business Standard looks at the key stats at Headingley Stadium and how the Leeds wicket is expected to behave over the course of five days. As the first Test between India and England is set to get underway at Headingley, all eyes turn to a pitch known for its double life. What begins as a green seamer transforms—often dramatically—into a batting haven as the match wears on. But with the weather in Leeds throwing in an unpredictable twist, the conditions are set to play a decisive role. What to expect from the Headingley surface Early gremlins: The pitch typically favours seamers up front. Among all English venues that have hosted five or more Tests since 2010, Headingley has the lowest collective batting average (27.48) in the first and second innings. Late redemption for batters: The track tends to ease out, boasting the best collective batting average (33.65) in the third and fourth innings across major English Test grounds. Six-Test streak: Teams bowling first have emerged victorious in each of the last six Tests at Headingley. Chasing made easy: The last four matches at this venue have seen successful fourth-innings chases of 322, 359, 296, and 251—a rare feat in Test cricket, and a testament to the pitch flattening out. But there's a catch—The Leeds weather Dry Spell Disruption? In the lead-up to the Test, Leeds has experienced unusually warm and dry conditions, raising the possibility that the pitch might break up more than usual. What is India highest score at Headingley, Leeds in Test cricket? India's highest team total in Leeds in 628-8 dec. India piled up over 600 runs in the first innings on August 22, 2002 and emerged victorious. What is England highest score at Headingley, Leeds in Test cricket? England's score of 570-7 dec is their highest team total in Leeds. England achieved their highest score in Leeds on May 25, 2007.

Interestingly, this ground also witnessed their second-highest Test total in the country: a commanding 628. Jasprit Bumrah is just five wickets away from becoming the first Indian to claim 150 Test wickets in SENA (South Africa, England, New Zealand, Australia) countries. Among Asian bowlers, only Wasim Akram, with 146, has more. Joe Root, meanwhile, has scored 2,846 runs at an average of 58.08 with 10 centuries against India—more than any other batter in Test history. Yet, Bumrah has proved to be his frequent nemesis, dismissing him nine times in the format. The record books don't paint a pretty picture. In nine decades, only three Indian teams—those led by Ajit Wadekar (1971), Kapil Dev (1986), and Rahul Dravid (2007)—have returned from England with a Test series win. And now, Gill's India must chase history without Kohli, the side's red-ball torchbearer, who has stepped into Test cricket's sunset.

Fantastic to see two legends honoured with Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy: Jay Shah on England-India Test series
ICC Chair Jay Shah expressed his joy on India and England greats Sachin Tendulkar and James Anderson have been honoured with a newly named trophy – the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy – which will be up for grabs in the five-Test series between the two nations. The five-Test series between the two sides, starting Friday, will also mark the beginning of the next ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle for both teams. "With the new WTC cycle under way it's fantastic to see two legends honoured with the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy for men's Test series between England and India. Equally special is the continued acknowledgement of the Pataudi family, with the introduction of the Pataudi Medal to be awarded to the winning captain of each England–India Test series," Shah posted on X. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) unveiled the new trophy, which features the imagery of both Tendulkar and Anderson and also has their signatures engraved on it as a tribute to the two stalwarts. The Pataudi family, after whom the previous Pataudi Trophy was named, will continue to be honoured through the introduction of the Pataudi Medal, a new accolade that will be awarded to the winning captain of the series. India's legendary batter Tendulkar, the first player with 200 Test caps, closed his red-ball career in 2013 with the most runs in the format, a record he still holds with a mammoth 15,921 runs, which include 51 centuries. He has delivered some memorable displays against England, scoring 2,535 runs at an average of 51.73, with a highest score of 193 at Headingley, the venue for the first Test between the two sides starting on Friday. Anderson, who represented England in 188 Test matches, claimed a whooping 704 wickets in the longest format – the third-highest in the format – before bringing the curtains down on his career last year. The seamer brought his best against India, amassing an incredible 149 wickets from 39 Tests, at an average of 25.47, including six five-wicket hauls.
