However, India struggled with the bat and kept on losing wickets in quick succession.

All these four batters were dismissed by young England off-spinner Shoaib Bashir.

India's only saving grace came in the form of Jaiswal, who scored 73 runs.

Indian batters clearly struggled against England spinners and that brought their downfall.
