The conditions in this part of the world were always going to be one of the major challenges for the Indian batsmen coming into the series. Facing the moving ball against top quality seam and swing bowling has always been one of the top-notch concerns of Indian batsmen touring overseas over the years.

The Indian batsmen, however, showed real signs of struggle in both the innings against the likes of Anderson, Broad and Woakes which only reveals their inability to adjust to the conditions on offer.

The top order failed miserably in both the innings and the middle order could hardly manage anything substantial enough to even give the visitors any sort of hope in the test match.
