Something happened in the Lord’s Test between India and England, which has been seen very rarely before today. In fact, the first innings of both India and England team ended for 387 runs. In this way, there is no further ahead in the match even after three days of play. This was the first time in the year 1910, when the first innings of both England and South Africa ended at 199 runs. This is the first innings of the first innings, then what would happen if the score of both teams remain the same in the second innings? Here you will get the answer to this question.

If the score remained equal in the second innings

If the score of any two teams is equal in the second innings, then no one will win. That match will be considered as a tie, it is rarely seen in red-ball cricket. For example, in the Indo-England Lord’s Test, both teams scored 387 runs in their first innings. Suppose if India and England are able to score 200 runs in their second innings, then that match will be declared a tie, not a draw.

Tie only 2 matches in Test cricket

So far, only 2 matches have been tied in the history of Test cricket. This was the first time in the year 1960, when Australia and West Indies came face to face. Both teams scored a total of 737 runs in that match. 26 years later, in 1986, the Chennai Test of India and Australia ended as a Tie. In that match, both teams scored a total of 744 runs. After that no Test match has been tied in 39 years. The number of matches to be drawn in the last few years has also decreased, one of the main reasons has been aggressive batting style.
