England must improve: Vaughan

-

London: England will suffer a series whitewash against India unless their batting improves dramatical­ly from the first Test win over Bangladesh, former captain Michael Vaughan has said. England relied on their bowling and an in-form Ben Stokes to bail them out against Bangladesh and claim a 22-run victory on the final morning in Chittagong on Monday. “If they perform like they did against Bangladesh, it’ll be 5-0,” Vaughan told the BBC. Stokes steadied England's second innings after the top order collapsed on Day Three and Vaughan said England cannot afford to put themselves in a similar situation against the world's top-ranked Test side. “It doesn’t matter who goes first. England for such a long time are always 30 or 40 for three. If they’re 30 or 40 for three against India they’ll get blown away,” he added.
