Jaiswal and Rahul are at the crease. Jaiswal is on strike. Woakes will open the attack
The players are walking out to the middle. Three slips and a gully.
Players have lined up for the anthems.
India have again favoured batting depth over picking a more potent attack with Washington Sundar picked over Kuldeep Yadav. They've also saved Bumrah for Lord's where they expect the pitch to have more help.
Teams:
India (Playing XI): Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Karun Nair, Shubman Gill(c), Rishabh Pant(w), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna
England (Playing XI): Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes(c), Jamie Smith(w), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Josh Tongue, Shoaib Bashir
Gill: Would've bowled first as well. If there's anything in the wicket, it's in the first day. Three changes - Reddy, Washi and Akash Deep come in. No Bumrah. Just to manage his workload. Third Test being at Lord's, we think there'll be more in that pitch so we'll use him there.
England have won the toss and have opted to field
Stokes: We're going to bowl. Overhead conditions favour it. Very good team performance last week, we're confident. You understand the conditions better as you go deeper into the Test. Brains and me and Baz are not three things you put together. Great run chase, great start to the series.
England have won the toss and have opted to field
Moments away from the toss.. Stokes flips the coin and England have won the toss.
10:27 Local Time, 09:27 GMT, 14:57 IST: Lot of bowling for Washington Sundar on the side. If he's playing, one of Sai Su or Karun will need to be left out (if Nitish Reddy is also playing). Here's the tricky bit - both Karun and Sai are currently being put through a slip catching drill.
The hover-cover is hovering on the outfield but the sun is out for now. Don't think there'll be any trouble in that regard.
