IND vs ENG Live: Here’s what Ben Stokes said at the toss

Would have batted as well. It was a great last week, but we know India will come back hard. To come from behind like we did was very pleasing. We’ll take the confidence from that, but new week now. It is an amazing atmosphere to play in for the boys. To get such an opportunity at the start of their career will do wonders for their confidence. Two changes – Shoaib Bashir and James Anderson come in for Jack Leach and Mark Wood.

IND vs ENG Live: Here’s what Rohit Sharma said at the toss

We’ll bat first. Looks a good pitch, the pitch will do its thing, we need to play good cricket. What happened in Hyderabad is history, we need to move on. We have spoken on things we need to do, now we need to execute on our plans. I thought we batted well in the first innings, but didn’t have the same intent in the second. Similarly, in the second innings with the bowl there was a brilliant knock by Ollie Pope. Injuries are part and parcel of the game, but that’s why we have the guys sitting on the bench. Two unforced changes – Jadeja and KL miss out, and Siraj has been rested. We’ve got Mukesh, Kuldeep coming in, and Rajat Patidar making his debut.

IND vs ENG Live: Toss

India skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat against England in the second Test in Visakhapatnam on Friday. 

IND vs ENG Live: Rajat Patidar to make debut

As per the latest visuals from Visakhapatnam, Rajat Patidar has been handed over the debut cap. This means batter Sarfaraz Khan will be missing out from today’s game. 

IND vs ENG Live: Absence of Jadeja and Rahul

An under-pressure and under-resourced India will need to think out of the box to counter England’s fearless bunch of ‘Bazballers’ in the second Test. India are seldom stretched at home but following a dramatic loss in Hyderabad, they have plenty to ponder and the absence of injured Ravindra Jadeja and K L Rahul has made their task tougher.

IND vs ENG Live: England lead 1-0

The Ben Stokes-led side has registered 28-run victory over India in the first Test in Hyderabad and took 1-0 lead in the series. Ollie Pope was the main architect of England’s victory with a knock of 196 runs. Apart from him, debutant spinner Tom Hartley also impressed everyone with his seven-wicket haul.
