India have managed to take a 1-0 lead in the five-match Test series after two matches. The Virat Kohli-led side bowled out England for 120 runs and won the Lord's Test by 151 runs on Day 5.
Former England captain Nasser Hussain spoke about the fightback of the home side after a defeat at Lord's. He feels a comeback from here would be tough for Joe Root and co, but he isn't completely ruling out the possibilities.
"It will be difficult with so many bowlers out injured, and the way England are batting. But, I repeat, they were in a position to win the second Test on the final morning so that game wasn't all bad," Hussain told the Daily Mail.
"They had a mad hour but that's the brilliance of Test cricket. The game can change so often throughout five days. It could be different at Headingley. It has looked very flat this year. But these are two vulnerable batting line-ups."
England have already lost key players like Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes, and Chris Woakes ahead of the series. Even England's Test specialist Stuart Broad was ruled out of the remaining matches after the first Test due to injury.
Hussain was expecting a downfall after the England batting unit couldn't step up in a long time. "This batting demise has been a long time coming. It's not just England by the way. It's red-ball batters around the world. It only seems to be the two World Test Championship finalists in New Zealand and India who are producing high-quality red-ball batsmen," he added.
India and England will play the third Test at Leeds from August 25. After a few heated moments in the second Test, the series is expected to spice up in the upcoming matches.
