What a day's play it has been today! India piled up more than 300 runs but England too ensured that they are in the match, by taking six wickets. Yashasvi Jaiswal turned out to be the best performer on a day when the other Indian batters failed to convert starts to big scores. Having missed out on a deserved three-figure score in Hyderabad, Jaiswal surely did make things count in Visakhapatnam. Right from the outset, he was superb and played some delightful strokes on both sides of the wicket. The youngest batter of the Indian line-up stood firm with an unbeaten 179*. England would be happy to get two lucky wickets as play neared its end on Day 1. For England, debutant Shoaib Bashir and Rehan Ahmed picked two wickets each while James Anderson and Tom Hartley got one apiece.
OUT! Rehan Ahmed has his second wicket of the innings as he dismisses KS Bharat. The wicketkeeper-batter hit the ball straight to Shoaib Bashir who pouches a simple catch. England are hitting back late in the day. Srikar Bharat c Shoaib Bashir b Rehan Ahmed 17(23)
OUT! Against the run of play, England have a wicket and it is that of Axar Patel, who has hit the ball straight to the fielder. The left-hander forced a good partnership with Yashasvi Jaiswal but could not keep that cut shot town with Rehan Ahmed taking a good catch. England have struck again with play nearing close on Day 1. Axar Patel c Rehan Ahmed b Shoaib Bashir 27(51)
150 up for Yashasvi Jaiswal! The youngster has kept on getting better and has gone past 150 in this innings. The left-hander has been the best batsman among the Indians so far and he would now eye a big score here.
OUT! Rehan Ahmed has broken this partnership and Rajat Patidar is the man to depart here. He would consider himself to be slightly unfortunate here. Patidar played a defensive shot and the ball rolled on from his gloves and went on to hit the stumps. Rajat Patidar b Rehan Ahmed 32(72)
Rajat Patidar and Yashasvi Jaiswal have resumed proceedings after tea on Day 1 here and both would look to do the good work they have done so far. Jaiswal has scored the bulk of the runs in this Indian total so far and he would love to add more and have a big score under his belt.
Rajat Patidar and Yashasvi Jaiswal are holding ground for India, keeping the hosts slightly ahead in this contest. The session saw Jaiswal score his second Test century and he deservedly got to this mark after playing quality shots all morning. Patidar also looked pretty assured in what is his maiden outing in Test cricket. For England, the wicket of Shreyas Iyer would give them a lot of delight with the Indian batsman having yet another failure. At tea, India are 225/3 and it would be interesting to see where they end up by the end of the day.
Rajat Patidar has joined forces with Yashasvi Jaiswal in the middle and it would be interesting to see how the debutant fares. It has taken Patidar years of hard work in domestic cricket to get to this stage and he will want to make this count big time.

OUT! England's hero in Hyderabad, Tom Hartley has broken this partnership by dismissing Shreyas Iyer. The ball was a bit close for him to cut and Iyer got an under edge with Ben Foakes taking a good catch. India lose another wicket when they started to gain some momentum.

After eating a humble pie in the opening Test in Hyderabad, the Indian cricket team would be out to bounce back and prove a point or two in the 2nd Test of this five-match series. India were beaten in their own game in Hyderabad. The Rohit Sharma-led side had the game in control for a good part before a magical 196 from the bat of Ollie Pope paved the way for England's comeback. England not only managed to overhaul the lead that India had gained but went on to post a total of over 200, chasing which would always be tough on a track that assisted spin and against an opposition that had four spinners in their ranks. And it was the unheralded Tom Hartley, who was expensive in the first innings, who turned out to become the difference-maker. His seven-wicket haul helped England come out on top by 28 runs in a result great for the advertisement of the game's longest format.

Not just the defeat but India were hit by the injuries to Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul, both of whom are set to miss this contest. The Indian team management gave call-ups to Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar and Sourabh Kumar to the squad. It will be interesting to see who out of Patidar or Sarfaraz make it to India's playing XI for this Test match. The likes of Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer would need to step up and perform in what is a very crucial Test match for them. Both the players are under fire for their poor show in Hyderabad, despite having gotten off to starts. England on their part, have given a debut to spinner Shoaib Bashir and a lot of attention would be on how the youngster performs. James Anderson, at 41, has returned to the team once again and he has replaced Mark Wood. Barring these two changes, England have retained their winning team from Hyderabad.

The track in Vizag is once again expected to assist spin and in Jadeja's absence, India might have Washington Sundar in the playing XI. Not just for his spin-bowling but Sundar's ability to score crucial runs lower down the order would be key for India. Kuldeep Yadav is also in contention of being picked in the Indian team for this match.
