<\/div>\nIND vs ENG: The first Test between England and India was drawn after rain washed out Day 5.\u00a9 AFP<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n The first Test between England and India at Trent Bridge was drawn after no play was possible on the final day due to rain. Moments after Tea was taken at Trent Bridge, after rain washed out the first two sessions, the officials decided to call off play altogether. Both India and England would think about what would have been the result had weather been kinder to them as both teams had a chance to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. After a long delay due to\u00a0rain on Day 5, it had\u00a0stopped raining at Trent Bridge for a short while and an inspection was scheduled for 7 pm IST. But all hopes of any cricket anytime soon\u00a0vanished into thin air as the drizzle\u00a0got heavier. India finished 52-1 in their second innings, needing a further 157 runs to reach a victory target of 209 in what had promised to be tough batting conditions. Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara were both 12 not out. But persistent early morning rain prevented play resuming as scheduled at 11:00 am local time (3:30 pm IST), with the pitch and square both remaining fully covered. Following an inspection, the umpires decided to bring forward the lunch interval by 30 minutes to 12:30 pm (5 pm IST) in the hope the weather may relent sufficiently to allow a prompt start to the afternoon session.\u00a0(SCORECARD<\/a>)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
