MUMBAI: For an inexperienced line-up, they faced some of the toughest conditions to bowl. Tailor-made for a fourth innings chase to aid England's Bazball gameplan, there was no margin for error on a benign Headingley pitch.

Pacer Prasidh Krishna was one of the worst sufferers. The trick on such a surface is to figure out the perfect length to keep the batter in check. The Karnataka bowler was clueless, as were the other Indian bowlers, apart from Jasprit Bumrah. Prasidh leaked more than 200 runs in the series opener, which India lost by five wickets.
