In comparison, Eoin Morgan and his battalion’s troubles seem pale. The context of the T20I series is nowhere close, but the truth remains that they too have shackles to break, and soon.

Expectedly, Chris Jordan was at the receiving end of a myriad of questions about the impact that the Indian spinners had in the first game. The fast bowler quashed the notion of an inherent weakness against the turn and pointed out that England has a better record against spin since 2015 that most team. The most interesting opinion during the course of the interaction, however, was this: “If we still try to stay on the front foot as much as possible and keep putting pressure back on them [Indian spinners], I hope we’ll be okay,” he said.

Kuldeep Yadav seemed effortless while spinning his back-of-the-hand web around the England core, effectively killing the game by the innings break in Manchester. So England has now reached out to ‘Merlyn’, the next best option to having an actual left-arm wrist spinner bowl at the players in the nets. Merlyn comes equipped with the ability to bowl any kind of delivery based on the data fed into it, but there’s only so far technology can go. The morning sessions on Thursday would’ve given England’s batting core a chance to tune their minds to the task of facing a bowler like Kuldeep but would’ve seldom equipped them to read him from the hand – which is quintessential for being able to nullify his variations. England also had their bowling consultant on a 100 days-a-year contract – Saqlain Mushtaq – watch over the net session where the spinners bowled.

Counterattacking a spinner who got under their skins in the first game is not the worst route to go down. In fact, it might have a disruptive effect on him. Yet, the dimensions at the SWALEC stadium in Cardiff should also have an impact on any such decisions. Largely, counterattacking against spin has seen batsmen target the square and backward square areas with sweeps and lap shots, but the length of the square boundary might come as a hindrance. The solution then could be to play a lot straighter – like KL Rahul did on Wednesday – where the fence is short enough for most England batsmen to clear by quite a distance.

The only potential area of concern from the Old Trafford cakewalk for India was that Bhuvneshwar Kumar started the tour with an off day when his erratic lengths were duly punished. His figures of 4 for 45, including a 20-run over, didn’t matter eventually, but in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah, India will hope to have their premier bowler at his peak.

England: The hosts don’t quite have options to turn to from the bench. Dawid Malan (Middlesex) and Sam Curran (Surrey) are both going to be at the T20 Blast, leaving Jake Ball as the only one that can come in as a replacement for, perhaps, Liam Plunkett, who conceded 42 in 4 overs at Old Trafford.

India: Krunal Pandya spent some time bowling in the nets, but India might look to retain the same winning line-up until the series is in the bag.
