Watch India Vs. England Cricket Live Online, First Test Day 1

Fans can watch the India vs. England cricket match live online and see which longtime rival comes out ahead in the first of five Test matches between the nations.

Over the next month, India will travel to England to square off in a number of venues. The series kicks off Wednesday, with Day 1 of a Test series at Nottingham. The action will kick off at 11 a.m. local time (10 a.m. GMT).

Both England and India are in a phase of rebuilding. The Indian squad saw the retirement of longtime leader Sachin Tendulkar last year, and have only five members remaining from the historic 100th Test series against England in 2011.

England will also be without several big names, including Kevin Pietersen, Jonathan Trott, Andrew Straussm, and Graeme Swann.

Fans who watch the India vs. England cricket Test live online will see an Indian squad that has seen great improvement. After disastrous trips to New Zealand and South Africa, the team rebounded later to reach the final of the Twenty20 tournament.

“If I compare between the first Test we played in South Africa and the last Test we played in New Zealand there has been considerable improvement. You know, it’s the right way of moving ahead,” said Indian captain MS Dhoni.

There is likely much at stake as the team’s face off, notes Wall Street Journal writer Richard Lord, especially given the struggles for both squads.

There is a lot of credibility at stake here: For whichever side loses, the legitimacy of its claim to sit at cricket’s top table starts to look even more threadbare, a victory of money and sporting politics over actual sport.

Team rosters (likely):

England: 1 Alastair Cook (capt), 2 Sam Robson, 3 Gary Ballance, 4 Ian Bell, 5 Joe Root, 6 Moeen Ali, 7 Matt Prior (wk), 8 Ben Stokes, 9 Stuart Broad, 10 Liam Plunkett, 11 James Anderson

India: 1 M Vijay, 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Cheteshwar Pujara, 4 Virat Kohli, 5 Ajinkya Rahane, 6 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 7 Stuart Binny, 8 Ravindra Jadeja, 9 Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 10 Mohammed Shami, 11 Ishant Sharma
