By IANS News February 09, 2021 • 17:11 PM View: 2760

England's 227-run win over India in the first Test of the ongoing four-Test series has kept their hopes alive of making the World Test Championship final scheduled to be held in London in June.

The victory at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Tuesday lifted England to first place on the points table with 70.2 percentage points. They've improved their chances of securing one of the three series results -- 3-1, 3-0 or 4-0 -- that would help them qualify for the final.
