How to watch the England vs India Test matches from anywhere
If you’re abroad when the cricket is airing, then signing up for Discovery+ may be tricky. Fortunately, there’s another option you can use.
JioCinema is a streaming service that broadcasts all the England vs India Test matches for free, but it’s geo-restricted to anyone outside of India. That said, there’s a simple workaround to gain access: use a VPN.
VPN stands for virtual private network. This piece of software reroutes your IP address and can make you appear as if you’re browsing the internet from anywhere in the world. They’re useful for privacy reasons, but also handy for unblocking streaming services that you wouldn’t normally be able to access from your location.
Our recommended VPN is NordVPN, which offers a wide range of servers, competitive pricing and a user-friendly interface. Surfshark is another good option, and we have more choices in our chart of the best VPNs for streaming.
Here’s the steps broken down:
- Download your VPN of choice – we tested using NordVPN
- Connect to an Indian server
- Open the JioCinema website in your browser
- Click on the England vs India Test matches

Note that JioCinema does not air in English and has ads on its service, and you don’t need to sign up for an account or enter any payment details. However, this is against JioCinema’s terms of service, so your account could be terminated – proceed at your own risk.
