India's vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane on Monday said the upcoming Test match rubber against England will be a test of mind and character, adding that making quick adjustments according to the demands will be key. Ahead of the opening Test starting in Birmingham on Wednesday, he also said that as per the skill-set, both teams are at par.

"It is a test of mind and character. Communication in these conditions crucial. We will have to respect the conditions," Rahane told reporters. "Our mindset is to how quickly you adjustment rather than thinking about the skill-set. Skill-wise both teams are at par. It is all about how quickly you handle the situations," he added.
