November 17, 2016 08:55

India vs England:

Hosts India will look to break England's confidence in the second Test match of the five-match series in Visakhapatnam.

Alastair Cook's men had pushed India on the backfoot in the opener in Rajkot and now captain Virat Kohli will hope to turn the screws with the pitch expected to assist spinners.

The ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Vizag will become the third successive first-time Test centre after Indore and Rajkot, as the Board of Control for Cricket in India continue to take the longest format to untested waters.

Off-spinner Jayant Yadav was handed his debut cap from former India captain Ravi Shastri.
