The players and umpires are out there for the national anthems.

"Sun is properly beating down but if you look at the local forecast, rain clouds are moving towards and could hit tomorrow afternoon, around Lunch time. But that's for later, right now, not a cloud in the sky" says Kaushik.

Anderson Tendulkar trophy, here we go. Who will own it at the end of the series?

Aight, let's begin. Here are the two Indian openers, Yashavi Jaiswal and KL Rahul. Chris Woakes has the new ball. He will bowl to Jaiswal from over the wicket.

Dint think i would watch the game but oh well i am thanks to my dad 🤣 really happy to see leeds as i have fond memories of the place 🥹

Go India 🧿

Rahul Saxena: "I started watching cricket when I was 12 and instantly became a Sachin Tendulkar fan like many of us. At 26, when Sachin retired, I thought I will too quit watching the game. Virat and Rohit's charm still kept me glued for last 10-12 years. Fast forward today, Watching the Indian XI during the national anthem reminds me that I have grown old just at 38 and this is technically 3rd gen of players I will start watching beginning today. Time flies !!"

Ranjeet: "Too soon to conclude but Carse has looked better than Woakes so far. That's what makes Left Handed batter important. Most of the bowlers are not comfortable bowling to a Lefty in the very beginning. A Right Handed batter is a better choice for any bowler to settle in his rhythm."
