First Test: England v India at Edgbaston, 1-5 August 2018.

England and India have played six Tests in Birmingham, with the home side having won five and the other a draw.
In the single Test there this century, England won by an innings and 242 runs (!) in 2011. Cook scored 294. This was the Dravid series, and even he didn't have a great game.
History isn't on India's side.
My hunch though is that India will win this five Test series with a little to spare and England's poor run will continue. I can't see why a team which is struggling against pretty average teams should overturn the best around, even given home advantage.
