IND vs ENG: The second match of the 5-Test series will be played between India and England from February 2 at the YS Rajasekhara Reddy Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. The first match of this series was played in the stadium of Hyderabad, in which the England team won by 28 runs and also took a 1-0 lead in the series. In this match, the magic of the spinners of the English team was seen, in front of which the batsmen of the Indian team were clearly seen struggling, hence now everyone's eyes are fixed on the pitch of the second match.

The pitch here is considered heaven for batting.

If we talk about the pitch of this deadly match played on the grounds of Visakhapatnam, the dominance of the batsmen has been clearly seen in the matches of all three formats played here. In such a situation, a similar pitch can be seen in the second test match of this series also. However, as the game progresses, the spin bowlers may dominate the fourth innings, in such a situation, the team winning the toss may decide to bat first so that a big score can be made in the first innings. The Indian team has played 2 matches on this ground so far in which they have won both. In one match, they defeated England by 246 runs, while in the second match, they managed to defeat South Africa by 203 runs. The last time the match was played on this ground, it lasted for 5 days and in that match Mohammed Shami had taken 5 wickets in his name.

England will play with three spinners in the second test also

England have announced their playing eleven for the second test match even before the start of the match, in which they have made two changes, in which James Anderson has been included in the team in place of Mark Wood, while in the Hyderabad Test, Shoaib Bashir has been included in place of injured spinner Jack Leach, who will be seen playing in international cricket for the first time.
