Kohli has been under scrutiny for his form, especially after failing to perform in Tests on Australia tour. He scored a total of 190 runs including a hundred in the first innings of the first Test in Perth.

India Playing XI:

R. Sharma (C), Y. Jaiswal, S. Gill, K. L. Rahul (wk), S. Iyer, H. Pandya, R. Jadeja, A. Patel,  M. Shami, H. Rana, K. Yadav. 

England skipper Jos Buttler win the toss and elected to bat first in Nagpur.

"We have got a nice thing going in the dressing room," Jos Buttler says. "Nice to have Joe Root. Morale's good. Baz is good at making sure guys are in good headspace."

"We wanted to bowl first," Rohit Sharma says. "We want to come out and be aggressive at the start and see what we can do thereafter. This series presents us fresh opportunity to come out and play well. Jaiswal and Rana make their debut, unfortunately Kohli not playing, a right knee problem that happened last night"

A red-soil surface in Nagpur, "very very good for batting" says Graeme Swann. Rock hard and very dry. A few cracks in there, "not a great deal in it for bowlers" he says. The square boundaries are 68m and 69m while the straight hit is 75m. The red-soil from Mumbai should make it a bit pacy, Deep Dasgupta adds.

Phil Salt (wk), Ben Duckett, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler (c), Liam Livingstone, Jacob Bethell, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Adil Rashid, Saqib Mahmood.
