That was the difference in the end - Jos Buttler on Adil Rashid and Mark Wood's partnership
"The guys bowled really well, was nice to show-off their skills. Not about how fast they can bowl, but how well they can adapt to the wicket. He's the most important player in our team, we are fortunate to have Rashid in the team. He has all variations. Jofra is consistent, he won't go for sixes often, but he will come back for sure if he does."
"I think the wicket looked different, Duckett played well. We lost wickets in clumps, we were disappointed. It was crucial to pick up wickets in the powerplay. I loved the way we kept pushing and kept taking the game on. Credit to Rashid and Wood, they had a crucial partnership in the end. That was the difference in the end," Jos Buttler said.
How England Performed in the 2nd T20I Against India
Captain Jos Buttler tried his best to stabilize the innings with his 45 off 30, supported by Harry Brook (13) and Liam Livingstone (13). However, the Indian bowlers, particularly Axar Patel (2/32) and Varun Chakravarthy (2/38), made things difficult for them, reducing the Three Lions to 136/7 in the 16th over.
With the ball, the visitors started strongly, with Mark Wood dismissing Abhishek Sharma early and Jofra Archer removing Sanju Samson in the powerplay. Brydon Carse was the standout bowler, delivering a brilliant spell of 3/29, which included the prized scalps of Suryakumar Yadav, Dhruv Jurel, and Washington Sundar.
Adil Rashid (1/14) and Liam Livingstone (1/14) also contributed effectively. However, Tilak Varma’s unbeaten 72 off 55 balls meant that the visitors had to finish on the losing side.
