    Anthems... check. India huddle... check. England batsmen in the middle... check. We're all set for a another first day of Test cricket.

    You never know what you're going to get from this England side. But when they have got no expectation, they're dangerous. No-one expects them to win this week.

    The pitch will do a little bit more this morning - there's dew and there's more bounce. England have to be no wickets down or one wicket down by lunch - and they have to get a big score.

    For many of the sessions in the three Test matches England have competed well. But they have these monumental collapses.

    The queues to get in to the Wankhede Stadium are already snaking down the block. The locals clearly fancy seeing their side grind this touring England side into the dirt.

    Such expectations are not surprising, though...

    The only other change for England sees Jake Ball come in for Gareth Batty. Stuart Broad is still not fit, hence the opportunity for the Nottinghamshire seamer, whose only other Test appearance came against Pakistan at Lord's in July.

    He took 1-88 in that match.

  9. Jennings joins the funpublished at 03:43 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2016

    The big team news for England is the selection of a new opener in place of the injured Haseeb Hameed.

    Keaton Jennings is South Africa by birth and even captained their Under-19s side, but a move to Durham in 2011 opened up the opportunity to eventually represent the country of his mother's birth.

    1,548 runs in the County Championship last season suggests he has the ability. And England have done pretty well out of South African-born players in the recent past.

  10. 'A good wicket to bat on'published at 03:36 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2016

    India captain Virat Kohli: "It is a good wicket a good one to bat on. We are playing with two seamers and they come in to it big time. 

    "We are looking at the series as a package - to exercise our skills and get the result we want.

    "Kannur Lokesh Rahul comes back in to open. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is in for Mohammed Shami."

  11. 'We're in a good place mentally'published at 03:35 Greenwich Mean Time 8 December 2016

    England captain Alastair Cook: "It looks a good wicket. All three games so far have been good wickets.

    "It' s been nice to get away but it's back to business. It's nice turning up for a ground where you've got good memories, but that doesn't count for much.

    "We're in a good place mentally, so let's go and put in a good performance."

    England win the toss and will bat

    They've got it as well. England win the toss and, unsurprisingly, Cook decides to bat.

    Two down with two to play, only a win will do for Alastair Cook's battered and bruised tourists in Mumbai.

    They can be encouraged as well, for their last two visits to this ground (in the 2006 and 2012 Test series) have brought them victory.

    They'll need some luck at the toss...

    Of all the saloons in the world, there is none more daunting than that named 'Last Chance'.

    It is in this most intimidating of drinking establishments that England currently sit, sipping a whisky and waiting for India to roll into town.
