Sam Curran played some crucial innings in the lower order in the Test series against India

The Indian bowling failed to wrap up the opposition tail which cost them the England series. Sam Curran regularly bailed England out of trouble with his batting. The inability of the India bowlers to wrap up the tail cost India the close matches at Edgbaston and Southampton in the England series.

In the Adelaide Test, the Australian tail very nearly won them the match when they were short by a mere 31 runs.
