England will take on India in the first Test match at Chennai and both teams will be battling it out for the spot in the World Test Championship final. New Zealand have already qualified for the final and the result of this series will have a huge bearing on the second finalist.

India created history when they knocked down Australia 2-1 with a depleted squad and now with almost all their first-choice players available, they are hot favourites to clinch this match.

England, on the other hand, showed their form when they blanked Sri Lanka in their last Test series in Sri Lanka.
