England vs India 2018, 2nd T20I, Cardiff: 5 talking points as England beat India by 5 wickets 

#2 Spin challenges England again

The pitch was sluggish and the bowlers were often resorting bowling cutters and tested the surface.

Hence, when Virat Kohli brought on the spinners, the challenge was always going to be tough for the hosts. Yuzvendra Chahal got rid of Joe Root when he attempted to slog sweep a ball, but failed to pick the googly.

Kuldeep Yadav was at it again, the English batsmen found it difficult to decipher his spin. They decided to play their strokes against him and were quite successful, even though not very dominating.

In his final over, Jonny Bairstow decided to go for the monty and played two expansive slog sweeps and cleared the square leg fence with ease to make the job easier for his side.
