Find out the complete match preview of IND vs ENG 2nd Test match and Dream11 Prediction. The match will kick off on Saturday at 09:30 AM IST.

Surprisingly, shaky start by the host in the first test match as they hammered by the visitors in all departments. England skipper Joe Root was the standout performer, he scored his 5th double hundred in the test cricket. Similarly, bowlers also chipped in and managed to bowl out a strong Indian batting lineup up twice.

On the other hand, Indian batsmen couldn’t manage to convert their start into a big score. Pujara, Gill, Virat, Pant, and W Sundar all got the start but failed to the set big inning. Apart from Ravi Ashwin none of the other bowlers looks threatening to English batsmen. Rchichndrn Ashwin took his 28th 5 wicket haul in the test cricket, and Ishant Sharma joins the 300 wicket club after Zaheer Khan.

It will be interesting to see how team India comes back stronger in the second test match at Chennai. Recently they did it against Australia where they lost 1st match and managed to win series 2-1. Indin team can make one change in their lineup, Akshar Patel is fit, which means S Nadeem makes way for him.

Chennai pitch always favors the spinners and we have already seen in the first test match.
