The First Test looked to be progressing towards an easy Indian victory. The hosts were 190 runs ahead on first innings and no visiting side had ever won in India by conceding a first-innings lead of more than 65. With only five second-innings wickets remaining, England still trailed by 27 runs. That England were then able to set India 231, and win by 28 runs, was astounding. In 147 years of test cricket and 2,525 matches, only 80 games have been won by fewer than 30 runs or four wickets.

England senior spinner, Jack Leach, has been ruled out of the Second Test by injury, so England’s bowling attack for the Second Test comprises four specialist bowlers: a 41-year-old seamer with 183 caps and three spinners with three caps between them.

India have their own absentees. Virat Kohli is missing the test for personal reasons, and KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja have been ruled out by injury. The last time India played a home test match with neither Kohli nor Jadeja was in 2011. This all leaves India with a weakened batting order and players yet to find their feet at test level.

Here's how to watch every ball of the India vs England 2nd Test match online, plus how to watch cricket live streams, from anywhere and potentially for free.

But what if you're based in India but aren't at home to catch the India vs England live stream – and don't want to spend money on pay TV in another country when you'd usually be able to watch the Test for free at home?

Don't worry — you can watch it via a VPN instead. We'll show you how to do that below.

India vs England Second Test live streams around the world

It's only natural that you might want to watch a free India vs England Second Test live stream from your home country, but what if you're traveling overseas when the cricket is on?

Look no further than a VPN, or virtual private network. A VPN makes it look as if you're surfing the web from your home country, rather than the one you're in. That means you can access the streaming services you already pay for, from anywhere on Earth. Or anywhere that has an internet connection, at least.

They're totally legal, inexpensive and easy to use. We've tested lots of the best VPN services and our favorite right now is ExpressVPN. It's fast, works on loads of devices and even offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.

1. Download and install a VPN - as we say, our top choice is ExpressVPN.

2. Connect to the appropriate server location - open the VPN app, hit 'choose location' and select the appropriate location.

3. Go to the broadcaster's stream - head to your home broadcaster's site or app and watch as if you were at home.
