Hello and welcome to live coverage of 1st Test between India and England at Rajkot. England have won the toss and chose to bat.

Alastair Cook: We will have a bat first. Looks a good cricket wicket and will dry up with the heat. I think it will turn later on, a traditional Indian wicket. We've been in Bangladesh for a month or so, the guys are ready to play. It's a great challenge to play the number one side. We are playing three spinners, three seamers. It's a great place to make a debut for Haseeb.

Virat Kohli: The wicket should be good enough to bowl as well, so not that bad to lose the toss. We don't take any side for granted. We focus on our plans. We are playing five bowlers. Their lower-order contribute a lot, so that is one of the main reasons we are playing the extra bowler.
