England would want to play exactly like they did in the first game, which they won, to put it mildly, more than comprehensively. Their batters are accustomed to playing aggressive cricket with the white ball, so they have little trouble keeping up the pace in tests as well. One of the primary factors contributing to their turnaround has been their excellent bowling. Under head coach Brendon McCullum, England have won 10 of their last 11 Test matches, giving more proof of the effectiveness of England’s ‘Bazball’ offensive cricket revolution.

After defeating South Africa in Christchurch a year ago, the hosts have lost all seven of their Test matches, including a 3-0 thrashing in England in late June.
The 2nd Test will begin at 11:00 local time, which is 3:30 am in India.
