What time is lunch, tea and stumps in England v India Test series? Time and breaks explained
Your guide to timings during the England v India Test series.
There is something special about an England v India Test series, and this summer's five-match contest is shaping up to be quite the spectacle.
On one side, we have an England team on a quest to prove that their front-foot approach can deliver results as well as entertainment in a year that sees them host the tourists before heading Down Under for the Ashes this winter.
On the other, a new-look India side led by fresh-faced captain Shubman Gill taking its first steps after the end of the Virat Kohli-Rohit Sharma era.
It remains to be seen whether BazBall will claim another victim or star pace bowler Jasprit Bumrah can help the tourists secure a famous victory in England. One thing is certain: it's going to be fun to watch.
