Lowest Test innings totals by each of the top 10 team

#4 India (42 vs England at Lord’s, 1974)

Geoff Arnold and Chris Old celebrate their victory against India at Lord’s

Batting first, England posted a mammoth 629 in their first innings. Dennis Amiss scored a brilliant 188 and was ably supported by Mike Dennes and Tony Greig. Both of them went on to complete their centuries as England literally toyed with the Indian bowling line up.

India scored 302 in their first innings and were asked to bat again. The Indians showed some resistance in the 1st innings but in the 2nd innings, they were nothing short of ordinary. Chris Old and Geoff Arnold finished with 5 and 4 wickets respectively as the Indians were shot out for 42. It was a pathetic display by the star studded batting line up as they dismissed for their lowest ever Test score.

England won the match by an innings and 285 runs.
