  1. Michael Vaughan shares three changes for England for the second Test The first Test between India and England at Trent Bridge in Nottingham has ended in a draw as the rain has played the spoilsports. India were required 157 runs to win the match on the final day but the play didn’t take place at all. While the second Test will begin on Thursday (August 12), former England captain Michael Vaughan has revealed his preferred England’s playing XI.

Only their captain Joe Root did well and their over dependency cost him the match as well. And, England coach Chris Silverwood has also opened up on this. While the players like Haseeb Hameed got a chance and Zak Crawley and Dan Lawrence struggled to get back in their form also. He added in his piece for the Telegraph: “I will start with Dan Lawrence. He needs to find a method for getting in for 25 balls. Every single Test innings he has played, even when he has scored runs, the first 25 balls have been chaotic. Lawrence looks to me like he will come back again. He has a bit of flair that I like but he just needs to work on making sure he is a bit more solid, stops falling over to the off side and is not as flamboyant early on to give himself a chance. He has had four noughts this year which is too much for a Test batter.” “I think Zak Crawley has the best chance of a good Test career. I have a huge amount of faith he will come good but his technique is just a little bit all over the place. His bat is coming across the line of the ball. It is not going towards the ball. The ball he snicked in the second innings should not have happened. He has been nicking balls on fourth stump too much recently which means he is not aligning to the ball properly,” further added Vaughan.

My worry with Sibley is that he will build up too much pressure on flat pitches when the ball is not doing anything because he cannot score runs. Opposition players like bowling to him because they know he is not going to hurt them,” Michael Vaughan concluded. The second Test between India and England will begin on August 12.
