9:03 IST:Â Good morning. Welcome to the live updates of the first Test between India and England at Rajkot
The Indian team, ranked no. 1 in Test cricket, will need to at least draw the five-Test series against England to ensure that it seals the number one Test spot at the end of the year.
England have come into the series after a first-ever shock defeat in a Test match at the hands of Bangladesh in Dhaka to draw the two-match rubber 1-1.
India, on the other hand, are high on confidence after a 3-0 whitewash of New Zealand in their last Test series. Virat Kohli's men will once again start as favourites in the five-match affair vs England.
With conditions likely to favour spinners, it will be interesting to see how England batsmen fare against the Indian bowling attack led by the in-form Ravichandran Ashwin.
This will be the first time that the Decision Review System (DRS) will be in use during a Test series in India.
