Wicketkeeper-batsman Jonny Bairstow says England will look to carry forward the momentum of their come-from-behind ODI series triumph against India into the Test arena.
“There’s an overlap of players between the Test and the one-dayers so coming off the back of a series win is going to naturally boost your confidence.”
After the T20 series defeat and the drubbing in the ODI opener, England registered convincing wins in the next two matches to claim the rubber 2-1.
“Playing against the number two side in the world when you’re ranked at one there’s always pressure on it and to win that series was something we set out.
“We will take confidence from that into the Test team but at the same time it’s something that we know with Test cricket is completely different.”
“It’s a different formula, a different game and different personnel within the team,” Bairstow told Sky Sports News.
