India vs England 2nd Test, Day 1 highlights: Yashasvi Jaiswal 179*, India 336/6 at stumps

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Stokes admits that England would have liked to bat first as well. He also says that England have put the win last week behind them as they 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,” he said. Stokes says that there is an amazing atmosphere for a newcomer to start their career in the England setup. “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.”

The Indian captain says that the hosts have to move on from what happened in Hyderabad. “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,” he said. “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."

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes(c), Ben Foakes(w), Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley, Shoaib Bashir, James Anderson

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Shreyas Iyer, Srikar Bharat(w), Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Rohit Sharma confirms that Kuldeep Yadav plays this time, Mukesh Kumar as well and he replaces Mohammed Siraj who the Indian captain says has been rested. Rajat Patidar in place of KL Rahul. No Washington Sundar today.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Ravi Shastri makes the stadium shake with his booming voice. Rohit Sharma calls it right and he says that India will bat first.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Eoin Morgan and Dinesh Karthik with the pitch report today. The wicket looks like a beauty to bat on. All English fans would be smiling at that. The top layer in black soil, below is red soil. There will be turn but not too much on Day 1. Certainly a win toss, bat first kind of wicket. Both sides will play plenty of spinners but we expect the spinners to come into the contest later in the Test. The first two days certainly better for batting, they reckon.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Zaheer Khan is one of the pundits on Jio Cinema and he himself was the man who gave Patidar his debut Test cap. Sarfaraz will have to wait for his chance. Furthermore, Washington Sundar had been bowling in the side nets and Mukesh Kumar was also marking his run up. Signs, signs.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: It would be quite unique for England fans to be seeing their side approaching a Test against India with one of their batters having more runs than all of the opposition players put together. For years they have seen the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman, Virender Sehwag, Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane line up but now, the most experienced player in the Indian batting top order could be Rohit Sharma with 3800 Test runs.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Was a stroll to victory for India. They beat South Africa by 203 runs in October 2019. It was the first Test in which Rohit Sharma played as an opener and he ended up scoring centuries in both innings. Rohit is the first and thus far only player to do so in his first Test as an opener. He shared a 317-run opening stand in the first innings with Mayank Agarwal, who himself scored 215. Ashwin took seven wickets in South Africa's first innings and took one in the second. Jadeja took four in the second though while Mohammed Shami took five.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: If they do so then they will have to choose between Patidar and Sarfaraz for the No.4 spot left vacant by Rahul and Kohli. That would also give India a sixth bowling option, in case they stick with their two pacers, and a third all-rounder. Their bowlers would be Bumrah, Siraj, Ashwin, Axar, Kuldeep and Sundar. As stated earlier, Sundar is also more than just a handy lower order batter and can easily fill into the slot left vacant by Jadeja.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: One could argue that Washington Sundar would be much higher in the pecking order than he is now had it not been for his injuries. He has a reputation of being a bowling all-rounder but in the four Tests he has played thus far, Sundar's bowling average has been 49.83 and he has picked just six wickets. On the contrary, his batting average is a whopping 66.25. He has been not out on 82 and 96 in his career, the last of those coming against England in Ahmedabad and his contributions with the bat were famously crucial in India's extraordinary 2020/2021 series win in Australia.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Ravindra Jadeja is confirmed to be ruled out of just this Test but his hamstring injury could keep him out longer. The latest on Jadeja emerging is that he is all but out of the third Test, and remains a doubtful starter for the fourth as well. Meanwhile, pacer Mohammed Shami has apparently made no or very limited progress on his ankle injury. Shami is currently in London and taking injections to beat it but in order to recover completely a surgery hasn't been ruled out. KL Rahul, though, is on track to making a full recovery and will be available for the third Test in Rajkot. He had complained of pain on his right quadriceps.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Maybe the whole debate around whether to pick Patidar or Sarfaraz itself is fundamentally wrong. Mohammed Siraj had very little luck in Hyderabad and bowled just 11 overs across the two England innings. If India do pick Kuldeep as their second spinner instead of Washington Sundar, there is a chance of them sacrificing a bowler to make up for the lack of the all-round option that Jadeja and Sundar provide.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: The start that Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett provided England in both innings of the first Test was integral to their victory in Hyderabad. "A new ball is always the most difficult period, but you know, consistently not only are they able to negate that but they're also able to get the scoreboard rolling at a very, very good rate, which is a huge thing for our dressing room and our batting line-up as well. And I think it's pretty obvious [there's] a difference in height between the both of them and I think they complement each other very, very well. Balls that Zak plays on the front foot, Ducky plays on the back foot. So it's very tough, I think, for bowlers to settle into a rhythm and settle into a line and length against those two. One's left-handed, one's right. So the way in which they complement each other is brilliant. And yes, they get us get us off to a great start and just sort of set the tone for us in a Test," said Stokes about his openers.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Sarfaraz Khan has been banging on the doors of the Indian team for quite a while now. This is testified by the fact that if he does make his debut today, only five other India batters will have had a higher first class average than his 69.85.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: James Anderson has generally been bad news for India. He has played four less Tests against India than he did against Australia. However, while he has taken 117 wickets in 39 games against Australia, Anderson has taken 139 wickets in 35 against India. He averages 24.89 against the Indians and has six five-wicket hauls.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: So let's take a look at what Stokes was talking about, shall we? James Anderson has played 13 Test matches in India, having played his first in the country back in 2006 at the Wankhede Stadium. England won that match by 212 runs with Anderson picking four wickets in the first innings and two more in the second. He has taken 34 wickets at an average 29.32 in Tests in India.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Stokes said that bringing in someone of Anderson's experience is great but a fact that is sometimes overlooked is that the veteran pacer has an excellent record in India. "Bringing Jimmy's experience, the class that he has, is great and I think it also goes under the radar how good his record in India is," he said.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: India have to make decisions for multiple key positions ahead of this match. Well, effectively, it is just two players that they have to replace but one of those does the role of three himself. Ravindra Jadeja has been arguably India's biggest match winner with ball, bat and in the field in recent years and his absence means that India will miss a world class spinner and an incredibly reliable lower order batter. And then there is the absence of KL Rahul, who has probably been India's most consistent middle order batter in ODIs and Tests in the last two years. There are two players who could replace him but who takes the spot is a separate debate altogether.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: And that is a big if. Stokes is still fresh off the surgery table after the spate of injuries he suffered till the 2023 World Cup. Visakhapatnam did provide swing in the first Test that was played here though back in 2016, which also happened to be between India and England, and so therein lies the sliver of a chance of fans getting to see the England captain bowl. If he does, Stokes will know that he is three away from 200 Test wickets.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: Ravichandran Ashwin is four wickets away from becoming the second Indian after Anil Kumble to reach 500 wickets in Test cricket. He would be the eighth player overall to do so.

India vs England Live Score, 2nd Test Day 1, IND vs ENG: James Anderson is back and he is playing this Test with two players who hadn't started playing cricket, no scratch that, weren't even born, when he made his international debut.
