India rested a number of their Test players for their first match of the tour; [[Mahendra Singh Dhoni]], [[Ishant Sharma]], [[Praveen Kumar]] and [[Harbhajan Singh]] were all left out of the team. The weakened bowling attack showed on the first day of the match, when Somerset scored 329 for the loss of two wickets from a rain-reduced 75 overs. [[Andrew Strauss]], the England Test captain and [[Middlesex County Cricket Club|Middlesex]] player,<ref>{{cite news |title=England captain Andrew Strauss to play for Somerset against India to help arrest slump in form |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/cricket/international/england/8588558/England-captain-Andrew-Strauss-to-play-for-Somerset-against-India-to-help-arrest-slump-in-form.html |work=[[The Daily Telegraph]] |publisher=Telegraph Media Group |date=21 June 2011 |access-date=17 July 2011 }}</ref> opened the innings as a guest batsman for Somerset, showed aggression initially, scoring 78 runs out of an opening partnership of 101, before getting out.

In reply, the Indians struggled with the bat during the second, rain affected day; Somerset's [[Charl Willoughby]] took five wickets against a batting line-up which showed its lack of match practice.<ref>{{cite news |first=Andrew |last=McGlashan |title=Willoughby leaves Indians in tatters |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-india-2011/content/story/523447.html |work=ESPNcricinfo |publisher=ESPN EMEA |date=16 July 2011 |access-date=17 July 2011 }}</ref> On the third morning, [[Suresh Raina]] controlled the strike well to bat his way to a century and stake his claim for a place in first Test, dominating a final wicket partnership of 84. Somerset once more look assured with the bat during their second innings, in which Strauss reached a century, eventually finishing 109 [[not out]], and [[Peter Trego]] scored a rapid 85 runs from 57 balls.

==Test series==

This match was the 2,000th Test in the history of cricket and the 100th between India and England. India's tour got off to the worst possible start with Zaheer Khan injuring himself on the first morning, leaving India with just three regular bowlers for the rest of the match. England made the most of the numerical advantage with Pietersen scoring a double-century as England declared with the score on 474/8. India responded well initially, but were soon bundled out for 286 with Rahul Dravid's century being the saving grace. England worked themselves into a position of control in the second innings, with India's bowling lacking any penetration. India were bowled out on the final day of the Test with nearly 30 overs to spare.<ref>http://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/566715.html</ref>

In their first innings, England were 124/8 at one point and looked sure to be dismissed for a very low first innings score. [[Stuart Broad]] and [[Graeme Swann]] then had a partnership of 73 runs and salvaged the innings for England who were eventually dismissed for 221. In reply, India reached a dominant score of 267/4 with Rahul Dravid and Yuvraj Singh sharing a partnership of 128 runs before England bowler Stuart Broad took a [[List of Test cricket hat-tricks|hat-trick]], dismissing [[Mahendra Singh Dhoni|MS Dhoni]] (caught Anderson), Harbhajan Singh (lbw) and Praveen Kumar (bowled) and finished with his best Test figures to date, with 6 for 46.<ref name="2ndTestDay2">{{cite news |first=Sam |last=Sheringham |title=Stuart Broad hat-trick revives England against India |url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/cricket/14354917.stm |work=BBC Sport |publisher=British Broadcasting Corporation |date=30 July 2011 |access-date=1 August 2011 }}</ref> This hat-trick was part of a remarkable spell of 16 balls in which Broad got five wickets without conceding a run.

England continued to bat strongly with tail-ender [[Tim Bresnan]] getting 90 runs. England were eventually bowled out for 544, setting India a target of 478 runs to win. India's response to this target was poor and they slumped to 68/6 at tea on day 4. England dismissed India's top second innings scorer, [[Sachin Tendulkar]] for 56 soon after tea. England wrapped the game up in the evening session, finally dismissing India for 158 runs, winning by 319 runs.
