After suffering thumping defeat in the second Test match against Team India, England's head coach, Brendon McCullum, admitted that the hosts were not able to play in the way they wanted to and also stated that they missed an opportunity at the time of the toss.

"We ran second for five days. I thought India played exceptionally well. Shubman Gill was at an elite level and played brilliantly on this pitch. We weren’t quite able to play how we wanted to on it, and they thoroughly deserved to win," McCullum said in an interview with BBC Test Match Special.

"I think as the game unfolded we probably looked back on that toss and said did we miss an opportunity there and it’s probably fair. We didn’t expect that the wicket would play quite as it did and hence we probably got it slightly wrong," he added.
