India Today
England are not scared of a fight and they would ‘push India back’ if Virat Kohli's team try to push the hosts, says head coach Chris Silverwood.
England head coach Chris Silverwood said that his boys are not scared and will definitely go for a fight if the Virat Kohli-led Indian team pushes in the last three matches of the 5-Test series. India went into the final day on Monday simply hoping to avoid defeat but tail-end batting duo Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami helped turn the match on its head. Setting the hosts 272 for victory, India's pacers then bowled with aggression and control to bundle England out for 120 in the last two sessions for a 151-run victory and a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. Tensions between the two teams reached the boiling point on Day 5 when fast bowlers Anderson, Mark Wood and Ollie Robinson had a go at Jasprit Bumrah during his record 9th-wicket partnership with Mohammed Shami.More Related News
