England captain Joe Root: "We want to make use of this wicket and hopefully make a big first innings score, then drive the game from there.

"I’m not sure what to expect. It will spin at some point, it’s just whether the dew, light and ball are a factor as well.

"This pink ball stays harder for longer and seems to swing conventionally for longer, which is good news for our seamers.

"We’re excited to be 1-1 in the series. It’s a great opportunity for us. We have to play some really good cricket, but we’re more than capable of doing that."

There were one or two boos from this excitable crowd when Root won the toss.

India skipper Virat Kohli says he would have batted first too.

England have gone in with one spinner in Jack Leach. India have three in the form of Ravichandran Ashwin, Washington Sundar and Axar Patel.

James Anderson and Stuart Broad BOTH play for England. Zak Crawley, Jonny Bairstow and Jofra Archer return too.

Full team news to come.

A big moment to start the day.

We're expecting more changes from England. James Anderson will be back but will Stuart Broad join him in the attack? What about the batting? How many spinners will they pick?

And what about another crucial toss?

Here it is...

Hello there.

After two Tests in Chennai it's all change for England and India. The teams have moved on to the cricketing super stadium in Ahmedabad - the largest cricket ground in the world.

There's a change of ball as well as venue too. This is a day-night Test with a pink ball.

Will that help England? Will India dominate again? One thing is for certain this is one of England's most eagerly anticipated Tests in recent years.

The first Test saw England take a famous victory...
