A test series is being held for the newly introduced "Anderson-Tendulkar" trophy. Earlier, the series held in england was held under the name "Pattodi Trophy". In some series, like the Ashes or the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, if the series ends in a draw, the winner of the previous series retains the trophy. However, since the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy is a new series, that rule does not apply here. So, if the series ends in a 2-2 draw, no team will be declared the winner of the trophy. If india wants to win the trophy, they must win the remaining two matches and clinch the series 3-2. A win in one match and a draw in the other will tie the series, but india cannot win the trophy. On the other hand, if both matches are drawn, england will win the series 2-1. So, the only way for india to win this Test series is to win the remaining two matches.
