Prior to that England had been unbeaten in any form of the game under Pietersen, that included one test match and four ODI's against South Africa, at that time England looked like they were flying and could only get better, however, there are talks of a rift in the England camp between Pietersen and coach, Peter Moores and this could be upsetting the team's moral.

Meanwhile, India come into this first match on a high, having beaten the formidable Australians 2-0 in their four match test series. The Indians batted superbly proving that they have one of the best batting line ups in the world. Sachin Tendulkar, despite his years is still proving to be one of the very best in the world, but luckily for England he will be absent for the first three matches of this series.

The betting has India as 8/13 odds on favourites with England rating only a 16/11 of taking a 1-0 lead.
