How to watch India vs England: Live stream 2nd Test cricket online - 5 minutes read
Having been outplayed in the opening match, the Men In Blue will seek revenge with a home crowd behind them in Chennai in the 2nd Test - watch every ball with our India vs England live stream guide below.
James Anderson and Jack Leach helped bowl the tourists to a famous 227-run victory in the first encounter of this four Test series.
The win also saw a superb individual performance from in-form skipper Joe Root, who marked his landmark 100th Test appearance with a double century. The win also saw Root equal the record for victories as England captain with the Yorkshire star having now lead his team to 26 wins.
While confidence will now be sky high among the England camp, Root and his team will know that the home side will likely come out stronger for this second installment of the series, while also being without the services of Jofra Archer, with the fast bowler ruled out with an elbow injury.
The nature of the defeat in the first Test came as something of a shock to many pundits, with Virat Kohli's men flying high after their historic series win in Australia.
All eyes will now be on the home side's bowlers, following a lacklustre display that saw them allow England to post a monumental score of 578 in the first innings.
With a limited amount of supporters set to be allowed in the MA Chidambaram Stadium for this 2nd Test, the hosts will likely be lifted by playing in front of a home crowd for the first time since October 2019 as they look to level the series.
