Morgan tells England to learn from T20 defeat

England captain Eoin Morgan told his side to learn some tough lessons after India levelled the Twenty20 series with a comprehensive sevenwicket win.

The teams are tied at 1-1 after Virat Kohli saw his side past their target of 165 with an unbeaten 73, building on a thrilling half-century from debutant Ishan Kishan.

Morgan has billed this fivematch contest as a chance for England to improve their play in Indian conditions ahead of this winter's 20-over World Cup and, while he would rather do that while stringing together wins, he is also looking for value in defeat.

England will ultimately reflect that they were tied up too efficiently in the last five overs of the first innings, scoring just 35 for the loss of two wickets, and failed to shut down the boundaries with ball in hand.

Between them Tom Curran, Chris Jordan and Ben Stokes served up 5.5 overs at an eyewatering cost of 81 runs.

"The pitch played quite slow and quite low. It was one that probably does expose our weakness," said Morgan.

"You do tend to learn quicker if you're winning and confident and everything's running reasonably smoothly, but if we have to learn the hard way then we are still going through that process. We're trying to learn game on game so that when it comes to the World Cup here in seven months' time we can be best prepared and know more about ourselves."

The day was not without positives for the tourists. Jason Roy followed up Friday's 49 with a top score of 46 as England posted 164 for six, while Sam Curran and Jofra Archer both turned in accomplished spells that their fellow seamers could learn from.
