\"dhoniwenttosilentmode101\"Nottingham:<\/strong> The five-Test series between England and India gets underway in Nottingham on Wednesday 9 July, with both sides aiming to improve their rankings in the Reliance ICC Test Team Rankings Table.
 
As things stand at present, India occupies fourth position with 102 ratings points, while England is one spot behind with 100 ratings points. Depending upon the outcome of the Test series, both teams can go as high as number three or drop to as low as number seven.
\n
 
For India, the equation is straightforward: a series win will be sufficient to help it leapfrog Pakistan into third position.
 
However, a vault up the rankings is a bit trickier for England, which needs to win the series by a difference of no less than two Tests to take on third place. Victory by just one Test will help it swap places with India.
 
Meanwhile, both teams can potentially drop to number seven. If India wins all five Tests, then Alastair Cook\u2019s side will plummet to seventh position, while a 4-1 series result will see England slip to sixth. Conversely, if England wins the series by 4-0 or better, then India will drop to seventh spot.<\/p>\n
