Watch Test cricket in the UK from £12
There’s a tantalizing clash of styles in store for cricket fans this week as England and their gung-ho Bazball approach take on India’s kings of spin in the first Test of an epic five-match series between the two sides.
Both teams come into this series opener in Hyderabad with strong recent Test records on the line. England chalked up two series wins and two draws in 2023, while India were also unbeaten last year, with three series wins and a draw.
Lancashire’s Tom Hartley is set to make his Test debut for the tourists, while Ben Foakes returns as England’s wicketkeeper.
The hosts, meanwhile, will be without Virat Kohli, who’s set to miss the first two Tests of this series for personal reasons, with Rajat Patidar having the unenviable job of replacing his country’s star batsman.
