Jake is aiming to silence the home support

hopefully I can take the learning experience into the next game.

“It’s about trying to stay calm and just stick to what you’re good at.”

There is a a growing sense of invincibility about Kohli, the game’s most fearless chaser who lies fourth on the all-time list of one-day century makers with 27. He has passed 50 in 10 of his last 14 innings and reached three figures on five occasions.

But England cannot afford to sit back and admire his genius and are plotting ways to disrupt that staggering run of form.

“There’s a few things we’ve been working on in the nets and hopefully we can put them into practice in a couple of days,” said Ball.

“It’s about trusting your plans, setting a field and bowling to that field; knowing at the end of your mark exactly what you’re going to bowl and not having any hesitation. If you have any hesitation out here and you’re slightly off you’re chasing the ball to the boundary.

“We need to stay calm and collected out there and stick to the plans.”

Haseeb Hameed is itching to get back into action after his impressive first England series was ended by injury two months ago.

The young Lancashire opener made an immediate impact after being handed his Test debut in India in November.

He scored a second-innings 82 on debut in Rajkot, impressing in terms of both temperament and strokeplay, and followed that up with another half-century on his third appearance in Mohali.

That last knock was particularly noteworthy, coming in spite of a broken finger, but - not surprisingly - it proved his last action of the tour.

Now, after an operation and some enforced rest, which did see him fly back to India after surgery to watch the end of England’s series, he is ready resume full training.

If all goes well he will join England Lions for the tour of Sri Lanka starting next month.

“The hand is getting there,” said Hameed, speaking at a Chance to Shine Street event. “It’s okay. I got the go-ahead today to start hitting some cricket balls, so hopefully I can start preparing for the tour of Sri Lanka.

“It has been nice to have a break but it was frustrating having to sit at home. It’s probably been the longest break since I started playing. I’m hungry to get back into it.

“I’m looking forward to starting again with Lancashire and going from there.”

Hameed, who was 20 on Tuesday, has quickly had to adjust to the spotlight after a whirlwind elevation through the cricketing ranks.

The Bolton-born batsman had been tipped for big things from an early age but 2016 was still his first full season of county cricket.
