England defeated India by 31 runs to win an enthralling test match. The win was a special one but did you know it was England's 1000th test match. Looks like a long journey. England is the first team in International cricket to achieve such a feat and witness it with a famous thrilling win over India. This will go down in history of test cricket as one of the best wins in England's test history.

England test record isn't that bad. Out of 1000 test matches they have won 358 matches, lost 297 matches and 345 matches have been tied. The overall record is fantastic and what journey it has been for England cricket.
