LONDON, July 23, 2007 (AFP) - England and India drew the first Test at Lord`s here on Monday to leave the three-match series level at 0-0.

England were left just one wicket away from victory as India, set 380, which would have been the fourth highest fourth innings winning total in Test history if they`d achieved it, ended the last day on 282 for nine.

Bad light, which forced an early tea at 3.34pm local time (1434GMT), came to the tourists` rescue.
