England have won the toss and decided to bat first.Team News: Gambhir comes back after serving a one Test ban. Yuvraj Singh finally gets a chance to come back into the Test side in the spot vacated by Sourav Ganguly.
Pitch Report: Looks a little weird but should be a good pitch and in the words of the Television Commentator, David Llyod who was down there at the pitch side, it's certainly a result pitch. Patches of grass here and there and a few devoid of it too. This should promise a little more carry and bounce. As the time goes on, it will ease out into a good batting surface. Spinners will surely come into play. Something for everyone.
England (Playing XI): Andrew Strauss, Alastair Cook, Ian Bell, Kevin Pietersen(c), Paul Collingwood, Andrew Flintoff, Matthew Prior(w), Graeme Swann, James Anderson, Stephen Harmison, Monty Panesar
India (Playing XI): Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir, Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman, Yuvraj Singh, Mahendra Singh Dhoni(w/c), Amit Mishra, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Ishant Sharma
