India vs England Live Cricket Score and Updates: IND vs ENG 2nd Test match Live cricket score at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai

Stuart Broad is in for a quick chat. He says that they have had great facilities to prepare and they are ready to go. Feels that he is not sure how to replicate match conditions in the training arena and that is when game knowledge and experience come into play. Feels that it was a perfect test match in the first Test as they batted well and then followed it up with good bowling. Adds that staying in the game for longer periods will be important and that they have been practicing reverse swing in the nets and they need to get their mindset around the same. On leg cutters and so, he feels that there was red soil last week and now it is a darker soil and in England, you put the ball on the same spot, whereas here you can try different variations.

Shubman Gill is up for a chat now. Gill says that the body has recovered well after the first Test and the mood is pretty high in the camp. Stresses that the plyers knew what to expect coming in from Australia and it was not too difficult to adapt to the bio bubble here. On his own preparations for the game, Shubman says they are pretty different as compared to the pitch or opposition and puts the plan to be adaptable as per the situation.

England (Playing XI) – Rory Burns, Dominic Sibley, Daniel Lawrence, Joe Root (C), Ben Stokes, Ollie Pope, Ben Foakes (WK) (IN PLACE OF JOS BUTTLER), Moeen Ali (IN PLACE OF JOFRA ARCHER), Stuart Broad (IN PLACE OF JAMES ANDERSON), Jack Leach, Olly Stone.

to , no run, Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli(c), Ajinkya Rahane, Rishabh Pant(w), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Siraj

Joe Root, the England skipper, starts by saying that they would have batted first as well but this is an opportunity to take early wickets and they are full of energy and hopes that they can make inroads early. States that coming to this surface, they wanted to find the right balance in the bowling attack. On how they have managed to win 6 away Tests on the trot, Root opines that they have made good partnerships and also have put up a good first innings score and then backed it up by scalping all the 20 wickets too. Adds that it will be a different challenge here and the hard work starts right now. Ends by saying that Chris Woakes is the unlucky one as he misses out for this Test.

Indian skipper, Virat Kohli, believes that this is a good toss to win. Details that this looks a pretty good deck to bat on for the first two days and expects plenty of wear and tear from there on. Feels positive for Axar Patel coming back but unfortunate for Sundar to miss out. Informs that Kuldeep Yadav replaces Shahbaz Nadeem. Stresses that one need not be shocked just because one is beaten at home because India have beaten England at home as well. Feels that just because India are playing at home and do well here doesn't mean they can just bundle oppositions out. Ends by saying that it all boils down to mindset.

TOSS TIME! Tails is the call by Joe Root but it is a head. INDIA WILL BAT FIRST.

We can confirm one change for India surely. AXAR PATEL HAS BEEN HANDED HIS TEST CAP. Number 302 for India. Does he replace a seamer or a spinner? Will Kuldeep Yadav get a chance?

PITCH REPORT – Mark Butcher and Murali Kartik are the pitch analysts for the day. Kartik starts by saying that it looks dry and also a different surface compared to before. Butcher then joins him and says that there are small cracks on the surface as well. Karthik then ends by saying that this turf might deteriorate faster.

Right then. It is building up to be another mouth-watering clash between these two giants of world cricket and it promises to be another riveting day of Test cricket on the menu for us. Will the English Lions continue their golden form into this game or will the Indians, now with the backing of their 12th man, come out and start this Test off aggressively? All the answers coming up shortly. So join us for the toss, captain's quotes, and the team news…

Team India, on the other hand, faced a barrage of sensational messages on social media after their loss in the first game. Suggestions were flying around from the 'enthusiastic' fans as there was chatter of sacking Rohit, replacing Nadeem, criticisms on Rahane's batting all came their way. But this is just the nature of the fanbase in India – they have tasted far too much success, that a single loss will trigger such a reaction. But luckily, we expect the management not to be too hasty with these decisions and there is only a single change expected as Nadeem is slated to be dropped for either Axar Patel or Kuldeep Yadav. While, the rest of the team will be coming out looking to serve that cold revenge and Kohli will be eager to step out and start with a bang, be it with bat or ball.

Talking about England, they would be on cloud 9 after their great win in the previous encounter but they will know that the first win was just the stepping stone to a historic series one and another win on the trot would do them a world of good. A day before the game, they released a 12-man squad, and the likes of Broad, Foakes, Ali, Woakes, and Stone, who were not part of the team for the first Test, have made the cut into the 12-man squad and one suspects that the final position into the playing eleven should be contested between Woakes and Stone.
