It is stumps on Day 1 and what a day it has been! India bowled England out for 246 and later, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma and later Shubman Gill took the team to 119/1, trailing by 127 runs. Jaiswal in particular, was magnificent as he took the attack to England's bowlers. Tom Hartley, the debutant was taken apart for 63 runs in nine overs and that sums up their bowling effort. Jack Leach was the only wicket-taker when he dismissed Rohit Sharma. Earlier, Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets apiece and Axar Patel and Jasprit Bumrah got two each. It was always going to be tough for England against India's spinners and it was what was on show today. Barring Ben Stokes, no other English batter could convert their start. India are firmly in the driver's seat and would hope to carry on in the same manner on Day 2 as well.

England have introduced leg-spinner Rehan Ahmed into the attack for the first time in this Test match and it is probably one of Ben Stokes' trump cards in this match. Ahmed would look to repay his captain's faith by taking out one of these two Indian batters. Both Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal have looked very assured at the crease.

Shubman Gill has joined forces with Yashasvi Jaiswal in this match and the two young cricketers would look to remain at the crease at the close of play. England on the other hand, have burned all their three reviews for the innings and it is just Day 1!

OUT! England have their first wicket after India's fiery start and it is that of the captain Rohit Sharma. The Indian skipper attempted to take the aggressive route and only skied the ball off Jack Leach's bowling. His counterpart Ben Stokes then takes a safe catch. Rohit Sharma c Ben Stokes b Jack Leach 24(27)

FIFTY for Yashasvi Jaiswal! The youngster has shown no signs of nerves and has played some magnificent shots on both sides of the wicket. He has batted aggressively thus far and it has provided with India with a fantastic start. 

25 Jan, 15:41 (IST)

India's excellent start to this game continues and the pair of Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal have put on a half-century opening partnership. Both players have looked to play their shots and have not shied away from taking the aggressive route. 

25 Jan, 15:18 (IST)

Yashasvi Jaiswal is playing his shots here and has taken the attack to debutant Tom Hartley, hitting him for two sixes in his first over. Early signs show India would not England's spinners settle down and take control.

IND vs ENG Live Score Updates: India is up and ready for the 1st Test of a five-match series against England. India has dominated teams at home under the coaching of Rahul Dravid but England with their modern attacking brand of test cricket will challenge them in every department. Beating India in India is never an easy task--there's a reason why no team has gotten the better of India in a Test series in India since 2012. Interestingly, the last team to do was England in 2012 when the side led by Sir Alastair Cook won the four-match series 2-1. India vs England, 1st Test 2024 Free Live Streaming Online: How To Watch IND vs ENG Cricket Match Live Telecast on TV?

Much has already been talked about this series with many pitting it as a test for 'Bazball', a term made which has popularly been used to describe England cricket's aggressive approach in Test cricket under head coach Brendon McCullum. England as a matter of fact, has revolutionised Test cricket in a way that has drawn more crowds to the longest format of the sport and all of that would be up for a stern examination against Indian spinners on turning tracks. Ben Stokes is England’s skipper and their talisman, a player who can turn the fortunes of his sides within a session. Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett will open the innings for the team with Ollie Pope coming in at no 3. Jonny Bairstow is an integral part of the test squad but it will be interesting to see his approach to turning wickets. India vs England 1st Test 2024, Hyderabad Weather Report: Check Out the Rain Forecast and Pitch Report at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.

India would have a big hole to fill in the middle-order with Virat Kohli not being around for the first two Tests. Rajat Patidar has reportedly been picked in the Indian team and it is a bit unlikely that he will make it to the playing XI straight away. Shreyas Iyer might bat at number four in Kohli's place and KS Bharat is likely to slot in as the wicketkeeper-batter. This is after head coach Rahul Dravid confirmed that KL would not play as a specialist wicketkeeper-batter.

Squads:

India: Shreyas Iyer, K L Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel, Srikar Bharat, Avesh Khan, Kuldeep Yadav, Mukesh Kumar, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Siraj, and Jasprit Bumrah.

England: Joe Root, Zak Crawley, Ben Stokes, Shoaib Bashir, Tom Hartley, Ollie Robinson, Rehan Ahmed, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Duckett, Ben Foakes, Ollie Pope, Gus Atkinson, Mark Wood, James Anderson, Jack Leach
