England have been playing quite alright for the last month. After losing against Pakistan in the first test at Lord’s, they bounced back at Headingley to level the series one all. However, the English batting has not been clicking.
Apart from Alastair Cook and Joe Root, they have failed to find batsmen who can sweat it out in the middle. However, as soon as the white flannels went off and the coloured clothing came in, England have looked a completely different and rejuvenated side.

They have trumped Australia easily in the first 2 ODIs of the five match ODI series and are well on their way of another ODI series victory. Jason Roy has been in red-hot form as the opener slammed an explosive century in the second match.
After this series would get over, England would gear up to lock horns against Australia in a one-off T20. Following that match, the season between India and England will begin which will contain 3 T20Is, followed by 3 ODIs and a 5 match test series.
