England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and elected to bowl first against Shubman Gill바카라™s India in the opening Test of the highly anticipated five-match series at Headingley in Leeds.
Ahead of the toss, India바카라™s Sai Sudharsan received his Test cap from Cheteshwar Pujara, who is in England as part of the broadcast team.
Nevertheless, England바카라™s decision to bowl first after winning the toss is backed by recent history--each of the last six Tests at Headingley since 2017 has been won by the team batting second, with two innings victories and four successful chases of over 250-run targets.
