England got what they wanted in the 1st Test – a fourth-innings run chase. Ben Stokes' side duly chased down 373, their second-highest in history to win, but India have started the 2nd Test well. Below we have all the information on how to watch the England vs India 2nd Test from anywhere.

Shubman Gill produced a wonderful century to sit on 114 not out at stumps to turn a see-sawing opening day's play back into India's favor. It was a real captain's knock, too, with the tourists teetering on 211-5 after Chris Woakes had bowled Nitish Kumar, who raised arms and offered no stroke.

Ravi Jadeja sat on 41 overnight with the skipper and England will know that they need early breakthroughs on Thursday to wrestle control back and strike at India's weak tail. It's already fascinatingly poised, this.
