Former captain Nasir Hussain believes that England have lost their rhythm by playing two consecutive tough pitches and were terrified in the second innings of the third Test against India. Hussein says it’s just about the mentality and England need to find a way to draw the series, which is a good result for them. England lost by 10 wickets in the third Test against India in two days on Thursday. With this win, India won 2-1. Joe Root and his partner Motera appeared to be fighting on a spinner-assisted pitch and were able to score 112 and 81 in two innings.

In the Sky Sports Cricket Podcast, Hussein said, “Especially if you take a spin on this pitch and skid the other, you lose the rhythm. Playing two consecutive Tests on such pitches will boost your mood.” I don’t think it would be 81 on the pitch but it was a much harder pitch than Chennai. Left-arm spinner Akshar Patel has damaged England. He took 11 wickets for 70 runs.

Hussein said Akshar bowled accurately. He threw a wicket. Some balls took turns and some did not. He took a lot of wickets on those rotating balls, so people look at it and say why they didn’t play these straight balls. This is related to the mentality of this team and the right thing to do is talk about pitches and umpires. I have not heard any England player say the circumstances are unfair. Hussein said he needed to find a way out and Jack Crawley’s first innings was a half-century positive. The series is not over yet. The 2–2 draw against India is by no means a bad outcome.
