# Since being defeated by South Africa in consecutive Tests - by four wickets at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai and by an innings and 71 runs at Bangalore in February/March 2000, India have lost consecutive Tests on Indian soil for the first time - by 10 wickets at Wankhede Stadium and by seven wickets at Eden Gardens.
# England's convincing win by seven wickets is their second against India at Eden Gardens in ten Tests. The last time England won two consecutive Tests in India was during the 1976-77 Test series, losing three consecutive Tests - by an innings and 25 runs at Feroz Shah Kotla; by 10 wickets at Eden Gardens and by 200 runs at Chepauk.
# Cook enjoys 80% success as captain - four wins out of five Tests.
# Of the last seven Tests played between the two countries, England have won six.
# Since their win by 2-1 in the 1984-85 Test series, England have won two Tests in a series for the first time against India in India.
