If India have to retain their number 1 ranking in the test cricket, they have to win atleast one test in the remaining two and not only that but also should have a draw in other one. India who got their crushing defeats at Lord's and Trent bridge will definitely have to climb a mountain-uphill task to retain their prime position. India haven't lost three tests in a series since their defeat 3-0 ijn Australia during 1999-2000. While on the other side England could easily seize their number one spot if they could have a draw in the remaining two. England's supremacy in this series can be easily depicted from the way in which the first two tests were bagged by them. I should have to say that England seized their victory from both the tricky positions.
