support than the host team will have on its home-ground.
The 1st test of the series is also important for India’s legendary batsman, Tendulkar’s career. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sachin-Ramesh-Tendulkar-c87800 is just one step away from his 100th International century and may accomplish this record at the 197-year-old cricket ground.

Cricket analysts have not declared any team favourite because both the teams have their own strengths and weaknesses. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and England both have remained successful in the recent contests they have appeared in.
The English team had won Ashes’ series 2010-11 and after that remained victorious against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 on their home soil, which also improved their position in ICC’s rankings.
On the other hand, Indians have remained triumphant after the historical World Cup 2011 victory. They also beat the host team in their tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760.
