India's Third Test Lowest innings score in England: Data Check

India collapsed to 78 all out after winning the toss on the first day of the third Test against England.

It was their lowest total against England since being dismissed for 42 at Lord’s in 1974.

Team India fall down their last six wickets for 22 runs having been 65/4 at lunch.

India leads the five-match series 1-0 after a 151-run win in the second Test at Lord’s last week.

Score	Overs	Inns of the match	Match result	Opposition	Ground	Date of match start
36	21.2	3	lost	v Australia	Adelaide	17 Dec 2020
42	17.0	3	lost	v England	Lord’s	20 Jun 1974
58	21.3*	2	lost	v Australia	Brisbane	28 Nov 1947
58	21.4	2	lost	v England	Manchester	17 Jul 1952
66	34.1	4	lost	v South Africa	Durban	26 Dec 1996
67	24.2*	3	lost	v Australia	Melbourne	6 Feb 1948
75	30.5	1	lost	v West Indies	Delhi	25 Nov 1987
76	20.0	1	lost	v South Africa	Ahmedabad	3 Apr 2008
78	40.4	1	TBD	v England	Leeds	25 Aug 2021
81	26.3*	3	lost	v New Zealand	Wellington	13 Feb 1976
81	35.5	4	lost	v West Indies	Bridgetown	27 Mar 1997

The total was India’s third-lowest in Test matches played in England:

Kohli was surprised after finally winning the toss but his decision to bat first at Headingley didn’t work out as his team never got settled in with the bat. KL Rahul, who scored a splendid century in the previous Test at Lord’s, got out for a duck in the first over and the wickets kept tumbling thereafter.

Lowest 1st inns all-out after opting to bat:

Team	Score	Overs	Opposition	Ground
New Zealand	45	19.2	v South Africa	Cape Town
Zimbabwe	54	31.2	v South Africa	Cape Town
Pakistan	59	31.5	v Australia	Sharjah
Pakistan	72	39.3	v England	Birmingham
India	76	20.0	v South Africa	Ahmedabad
India	78	40.4	v England	Leeds

This is the first time ever India had no player reaching 20 in the first innings of a Test match.#ENGvIND

At Lord’s India made their highest total (364) in match's first innings in a Test in England after put in to bat first.

Today India made their lowest total (78) in match's first innings in a Test in England after choosing to bat first!#INDvENG

There's a silver lining despite this woeful batting from India.

This is the 3rd time India have been all out for under 100 since 2014: Only one team has capitulated more – ENGLAND

MOST TOTALS UNDER 100 SINCE 2014
5 – ENG👈
3 – IND/SA#ENGvIND | #ENGvsIND | #INDvENG | #INDvsENG
