India v England, Vizag Day 0: Jimmy Anderson has been playing Test cricket in India before the IPL began and will take the field tomorrow alongside Shoaib Bashir, a bloke who was far from birth when he made his England debut. The veteran's extraordinary story continues on his sixth tour of the country. It's one of several changes from the two sides that took the field in Hyderabad, India trying to fill a couple of big holes after KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja went down with injuries in last week's thriller to start the series.
