England vs India: Head to head stats, schedule, streaming details and all you need to know

What a way to start the second edition of the World Test Championship (WTC). India - England locked in a five-match Test series - couldn’t get better. India come into the Test series on back of a heartbreaking loss in the WTC final against New Zealand. The hosts too lost to New Zealand in their most recent Test series. There is a lot to prove for both teams. Over the years, India were known as home track bullies but the visitors have shown considerable improvement in the last couple of years. They finally have a team that can defeat the best in their home den. They have two back to back series wins over Australia in Australia. However, the England series will be an acid test for Virat Kohli’s men. India have not enjoyed great success in the UK, with their last series win coming in 2007.

The visitors are also not without a worry. Ace all-rounder Ben Stokes has pulled out of the series. The hosts rely a lot on their skipper Joe Root and if India can somehow stop Root from scoring, they’ll be in with a great chance in the series as England's batting looks vulnerable in challenging conditions. India’s batting too looks shaky with Rahane, Pujara and even Kohli, not in the best of form. So there is a lot to look forward to in this enthralling series that gets underway on August 4 in Nottingham. Here is all you need to know about the series.
