Total 7 changes for the both teams in the name of rotation policy. England Team also has excellent bench strength as far as bowling department goes. They rested their front line bowlers Jimmy - Archer (Although Archer was forced change due to injury).

The second test match between ENG and IND already started, IND won the toss and elected to bat first hope they can do what ENG did to them earlier?
The unexpected inclusion of Axar Patel and they excluded Sundar for him who helped India in the first test cross 300+ with his unbeaten 85. Again the selection committee is going to face criticism for such a thing?

Nah, unless Axar fails. Having said that Axar patel was first choice in the first match too but he got injured. At home India never played more than 6 pure batsmen. Axar-Sunder-Ashwin are handy batsmen down the order (add Jadeja as well). So its all depends on their bowling ability and if they can contribute with the ball or not. Sunder looked really rusty with the ball in the last game so it makes sense.
2 quick wickets of Pujara and Kohli..

Right now, the main problem for India, Jadeja is out of the match which his hand is broken during the Ausis test match. This is the main drawback for the selection committee, but India already lost their 3rd wicket, whereas Kohli out for none, we don't know how far India will survive in this Test we have to watch closely.

I am surprised that the match is taking place in the same ground and this time India won the toss and elected to bat first and they will look to score runs just like England did in the first match but they already lost their top 3 wickets and i am not happy with the England selection process by resting James Anderson who was instrumental in picking the wickets in the last day. With all the changes i have no idea how this match will go as it will be difficult to bat in the last two days.

2 quick wickets of Pujara and Kohli.. Kohli out in a duck . Thankfully Rohit is still on the pitch and is going well. Last time I saw his score he was on 80, expecting a ton from him. Rahane needs to stay there too if these two are able to play today then we can expect a good score on the board.

Don't worry.. 200 from Rohit and 100 from Rahane coming in this inning with record partnership for 4th wicket. After that fifer for Axar Patel and Kuldeep, followed by 7 wicket haul for Ashwin in the second inning. India winning the game, easy peasy!

When Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli went for a duck i thought India is going to repeat the Adelaide magic . Luckily Rohit Sharma stood his ground even though he played some reckless shot and Ajinkya Rahane is showing some solid defense and hopefully India will be able to score above 400 runs. England and India resting players and i am surprised with the exclusion of Jasprit Bumrah, Anderson and Bess.

England follow rotation policy anyway so its not a brainer and also their schedule is packed with the Test cricket, similarly India also playing fair amount of Test Cricket + IPL + T-20 World Cup so Bumrah need to be fresh for almost everything. That's why BCCI managing his work load. No idea about Bess tho.

India have the clear advantage in this match as they will not have to bat last and also they have started this test with solid partnerships.

Yeah the pitch is quite interesting in Chennai. We already saw how it was in the First test and England did well to think out their plan on the final day and it was all Anderson to pick those crucial wickets and break the bone of the Indian batting order. Great call from Kohli to chose batting after winning the toss and I am certain that this had put a pressure on England to how to work this through. Good call and good advantage. Great batting from Rohit Sharma and Rahane to put some good amount of runs. I hope they at least play till 340-350 atleast. Edit: Damn, I jinxed it I guess

The third umpire for India and England is not good as he gave not out to a clear glove touch by Ajinkya Rahane and i thought that could change the game but England was able to pick his wicket and now the advantage goes to England as India lost 5 wickets for 259 runs and Pant and Ashwin is in the crease, one more wicket here and the tail is exposed. The ball is turning a lot and it will be difficult for England to score easily as India have three spinners and the game depends upon how Joe Root bats.

Edit: Damn, I jinxed it I guess Yeah you did!! 200 from Rohit and 100 from Rahane coming in this inning with record partnership for 4th wicket. Okay this didn't gone as planned. The way Rohit was playing, it was pretty close tho. Now new one 50 from Pant and 30s for both Ashwin and Axar. Pant vs Leach

Now new one 50 from Pant and 30s for both Ashwin and Axar. Pant vs Leach Ravichandran Ashwin is back in the pavilion and Rishabh Pant is still batting along with Axar Patel and anything they score beyond 350 will be an added bonus as the tail end is really weak and with the pitch turning a lot in the first innings the Indian spinners will have a good time bowling in this wicket as the three spinners have different approach, Axar with stump to stump line and wrist spin by Kuldeep Yadav and Ashwin at one end will be a deadly combination.

As mentioned earlier that Rohit and Rahane need to be back in form and both played well and their innings helped India to reach 300/6. Should try to reach 400 in first innings so that they can possibly if have a lead by getting all out quickly will help them to win this test and be part of finals for Test Championship. Rohit innings was fabulous and hope Pant can stay on the pitch for longer time tomorrow.

Pitch looks very slowish for the first day which means there is lot of wickets will be shared between the spinners for sure. More longer India bat on the second day will give advantage to their bowlers as well. Kohli failed again as a batsman because of captaincy fear? We are losing our best ever batsman in the world due to extra added pressure which I feel in that way. India managed to score 300+, thanks to Rohit because he was tested at his 90s too long with the stump to stump ball line from Moeen.

This Wicket is much slowest as we have in first test look like its going to be good contest between both teams because after first test win England is confident side but if India manage to reach 400 or 425 then surely some pressure on England which could be very important for India Root could be key for England as others not doing good tomorrow first session will good shape to this test match.

Yeah, I agree this pitch is going to be complete different one compared what we have seen for the first test. When pitch is going to be different means if England will be set to chase on 5th day, then they might have some chances to win unlike how India on last day of 1st test match of this series. Anyway I am not seeing that India could post 400+ total tomorrow as morning session will be challenging one and only Pant is the recognized batsmen there, so any 1 or 2 wicket will wrap up India below 350 or hardly 380 runs. In some wild guessing which are based on pitch conditions and home advantage of India, I guess this 2nd test match may end up in draw. This is the reason I just stayed away from betting for this match. Today Rohit batting was one of the thing I enjoyed even I did not have any open bet with this match.

There is no way the match ends up in a draw when the pitch showed signs of huge turn in the first day and India is known to play spin very well and yet they were not able to counter the England spinners and hope you remember how much runs England was able to score in the second innings. Toss crucial in pitches like these and India is in favorable position even though they lost their top order batsman.

So the pitch curator knows what team India wanted and made it further slower I guess and also they prepared with three spinners to attack the ENG from the initial overs itself. Fortunately India won the toss this time so the captain can't blame the toss for losing if they lose this match as well from a good start.
