Captains at the toss!

Virat Kohli: We would have batted first as well. Decent grass cover on it, but it’s a hard pitch. With the pink ball there will be something for the first 15 overs. This is another opportunity for us to come and execute our skills. The challenge is to adapt quickl to the ball. It travels fast and it’s difficult to control. We are fulfilling a responsibility of debuting with the pink ball. We have the same team from the first Test.

Mominul Haque: We will bat first, the wicket is dry and hard, so that’s why we want to bat first. It’s a brave decision we feel. It’s a great opportunity for everyone. Two changes for us.

Team news: Two changes in Bangladesh XI. Al-Amin Hossain and Nayeem are in for Taijul Islam and Mehidy Hasan. India have gone in with an unchanged XI.

12: 15 pmAnd finally, as we build towards the toss, here’s all you need to know about the day-night Tests and the pink ball.

12: 02 pmHead to head between the two teams:

11: 51 amHere’s an appetizer, in the form of things to know, quotes and numbers game.

11: 45 amFinally , the ‘pink day’ is upon us. The most talked-about event over the last few weeks in the world of cricket is set to engulf us in pink wraps and a twilight envelope. We at Timesofindia.com welcome you for all the live updates as India’s historic firstday-night Testbegins at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata against Bangladesh.

‘Daunting, intimidating, exciting’ were words India skipper Virat Kohli used to describe the emotions that could be experienced on Friday, the opening day of the first-ever day-night Test in India. He expects the energy level to be very high in the first hour, and that will make it all the more exciting.

For once, the opponents have been reduced to a footnote in the build-up. Bangladesh will be equally excited, perhaps nervous too. After all, their Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will be at the stadium, watching them try to salvage some pride after the three-day thrashing at Indore.

India, leading the two-match series 1-0 , are on a roll and would be more aggressive. Bangladesh will most probably go into the game with a defensive mindset, keen on lasting for five days. The hosts, though, are overwhelming favorites to win and clinch the series.

For the record, Bangladesh are yet to beat India in Test cricket, having lost 8 matches and drawn 2.
