India go into the second day of the Fifth Test in Dharamsala in a dominant position. After the visitors won the toss, England's batters coped well against the seaming and swinging ball early on and had reached 100-1 in the over before lunch. Then England collapsed to 218 all out, with all ten wickets falling to the spinners, the last seven tumbling for 43. By close India had reached 135-1, only 83 runs behind.

The India vs England 5th Test at Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium in Dharamsala showcases one of test cricket’s prettiest settings. At the foot of the Himalayas, it also offers seam-friendly pitches that could suit the visitors.
Conditions in Dharamsala are likely to suit Jimmy Anderson, who is two wickets away from becoming the third man, and the first seamer, to take 700 test wickets. Two other milestones are set to be achieved in this Test match as both Ravichandran Ashwin and Jonny Bairstow are in line to play their 100th Test matches.
Despite England’s seam bowlers being much better than their spinners, the visitors have opted to play only two of their specialist seamers, and have retained their two specialist spinners for the 5th Test.
With the series already won by India, England have only pride and World Test Championship points to play for. However the latter is of academic interest for England who are way off making the top two slots. However for table-toppers India, World Test Championship points earned in Dharamsala could prove crucial.
Here's how to watch every ball of the India vs England 5th Test match online, from anywhere and potentially for free.
