Howzat for a start to the India vs England series? The tourists produced what’s being hailed as one of their greatest ever away victories in the opener, inflicting just a fourth defeat in 47 home matches on the mighty Men in Blue – and Ben Stokes has upped the ante for today’s Second Test.
India vs England is airing for FREE in India on JioCinema. Don’t worry if you’re abroad at any point during the match, because you can watch India vs England 2nd Test live streams from anywhere with a VPN.
Shoaib Bashir was denied the chance to play last week because he alone from the England setup wasn’t granted a visa, but the right-arm off-spinner will belatedly make his debut in the 2nd Test at Visakhapatnam’s Dr. Y. S. Rajashekar Reddy ACA–VDCA Cricket Stadium.
It was an awful thing for anyone to experience, let alone a 20-year-old on international duty for the first time, but the chance to feature alongside Jimmy Anderson, who made his Test debut 114 days before Bashir was born, could make up for it.
For India the taste of defeat was a shock to the system, and they’ll be without KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja for the 2nd Test. The hosts simply aren’t used to being under this much pressure on home soil, though it was only three years ago that they overturned a 0-1 deficit to beat England 3-1.
