Prolific opener Smriti Mandhana acknowledged that competing at Lord’s turned out to be a tough test for India batters who could not adapt to the testing conditions and were indiscreet in their shot selection during the second One-day against England.

After making a strong start to the series with a four-wicket in the opening match at Southampton, India received an eight-wicket hammering in a rain-curtailed game at the Lord’s on Saturday night.
