Does Ben Duckett: Following England’s 4-1 Test series loss to India, former captain Nasser Hussain has pointed out that the visitors’ batting collapses on the tour will be the main issue which the team think-tank needs to solve.

England had won the series opener in Hyderabad by 28 runs, but after that, batting collapses of 6-68 in Visakhapatnam, 8-95 in Rajkot, 7-35 in Ranchi, and 9-118 in Dharamshala ensured the Ben Stokes-led side couldn’t win the series against a dominating Indian team.

"The batting collapses will be the main issue from this tour. There have been so many occasions where they have got off to decent starts and the middle order has then collapsed. It can happen in India but the pitches in this series have been brilliant so England can have no complaints about that.
