England vs India 2018: Five things England should do ahead of the second ODI

#3 Be more aggressive against the Indian openers

England struggled to put pressure on the Indian batting line-up in the first ODI

India are a team which relies heavily on its top order to do the bulk of the scoring for them. That one of the top three has scored a century in eight of their last nine games, tells you how reliant they are on the top order.

England's new-ball bowling so far has been anything but threatening. England are a side which goes after the bowling right from the word go but not India. They showed in the second T20I that they can use the local knowledge to their advantage and can keep the Indian batting line-up quite. With the series on the line, they need to be more aggressive against the Indian top order and let the middle order feel more pressure.
