India vs England Mohali (2nd) cricket test Live streaming
The Mohali cricket stadium was inaugurated with a one-day international match between India and South Africa during the Hero Cup on November 22 1993. In a country like India, infamous for its spinner friendly dust bowls, the ground gained reputation for its lively pitch and seamer-friendly conditions. India were even skittled out for a paltry 83 on the first morning against New Zealand in 1999 with Dion Nash being the wrecker-in-chief.The ground has witnessed some nerve-racking one dayers, the most thrilling being the World Cup semi-final in 1996 between Australia and West Indies.

The Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) Stadium pitch will assist the seamers during the second Test between India and England starting Friday, says chief curator Daljeet Singh.
"In the early hours of the day, the pitch will be helpful for the seam bowlers as ball will swing well. Conditions here are entirely different from Chennai as temperature is low and there are winds blowing in the morning that will provide an ideal condition for swing bowlers," Singh told reporters on Wednesday. "My only focus is to prepare a result-oriented pitch. Earlier, the ball used to spin well at PCA, but in the last few matches, we have seen spinners facing problem. This time I am expecting the ball to spin well but at the end of the day, but it all depends on the individual capability of any spinner," stated Singh.
