In the ICC Test Championship, England are ranked second and West Indies are ranked eighth, though England's most recent series was a whitewash loss in the Ashes against Australia for the first time since १९२१, their first Test series loss since their tour of Pakistan in २००५. West Indies, meanwhile, lost ०–२ to Pakistan in नोव्हेंबर २००६ as their last Test series, and have not won a Test since एप्रिल २००५. The last time West Indies won an away Test to a nation currently ranked above them was on their tour of England in २००० – they've also beaten Zimbabwe and Bangladesh twice during these seven years.
