Won it's first ODI?

Incorrect.

It's the Indians famous disaster tour of England where they were hammered every game. They lost one test by a mega margin, although the Oval 1938 test means it cant be a record.

India's heaviest loss in a test?

This is dammed close....Worth half a point.

It is a specific record I am looking for

Lowest test score?

There's another element to that for it to be the bang on answer.

lowest first innings test score?

It's not India's lowest test score, as Australia bowled India out for 36 recently, beating their record set in this match being referred to. It's not the lowest score against nor in England, as England hold (I believe) the records for both best innings totals home and away around the same era prewar against hapless NZ teams.

So it can't be the total. I'd guess then it's quickest innings in time/overs/balls faced?

Lowest score at a Lord's test?

Ireland were bowled out for 30 odd at Lord's recently, so can't be that

I've cheated by looking up the scorecard and the second innings only lasted 17 overs, if that helps

It was, at the time, the lowest Teat score at Lords.
