    What's the story

    India are up against England in the second Test of the five-match series.

    Having lost the series opener, Rohit Sharma's men would be gutted as they had a 190-run first-innings lead.

    England displayed terrific character as their 'Bazball' approach was too good for India.

    Meanwhile, Indian skipper Rohit has won the toss and elected to bat first.

    Rajat Patidar makes his Test debut.

    Details 

    Venue, pitch report, and streaming details

    The Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam will host the 2nd Test (9:30am IST).

    The venue usually offers a batting-friendly wicket, which supports the seamers early on. Spinners will come into play as the match progresses.

    While the Sports18 Network has broadcasting rights of the series, live streaming is available on the JioCinema app and website.

    A look at the head-to-head record

    India and England have played 132 Tests to date.

    The Three Lions have won 51 matches, while India recorded 31 victories.

    Overall, the visitors have won 15 out of 65 Tests in India.

    Key milestones on offer

    Jasprit Bumrah is four wickets away from accomplishing 150 Test wickets. He will be the 17th Indian bowler to achieve this landmark.

    Ravichandran Ashwin (496) needs four to complete 500 scalps in Tests.

    Ben Stokes could become the third all-rounder with 200-plus wickets and 6,000-plus runs in Test cricket.

    Joe Root (11,447) can get to 11,500 runs in Test cricket.
