England pace bowler James Anderson has cited India winning the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2-1 earlier this year as an example to raise the morale of the tourists ahead of the second Ashes Test beginning at the Adelaide Oval on Thursday.

England are 0-1 down in the five-Test series, having lost the Brisbane Test by nine wickets. “India were bowled out for 36 and came back and won the series so we know it is doable. Hard work starts now trying to turn things around and correct the mistakes we made with the bat,” wrote Anderson in his column for The Telegraph on Wednesday.
