    "editor1": "<p>England captain Eoin Morgan attributed less pace in the pitch and his batsmen&#39;s inability to handle it as the reason for his team&#39;s seven-wicket loss to India in the second T20 International at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Motera on Sunday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England had won the first T20I quite convincingly but this wicket, according to Morgan was different from the one dished out in the first game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;We were probably in and around par at the half-way stage (England were 91\/2 after 11 overs), but India bowled well. This was a different pitch to the one for the first game, less pace in it. They put us on the backfoot from the start and we didn&#39;t have a counter to that, which was disappointing. Pace off the ball is always challenging for the batsmen. I was a little disappointed with the way we played,&quot; said Morgan after the end of the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;I thought we would have to bowl well to get over the line. I thought India bowled well.&quot;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>England missed the services of Mark Wood, who took 1\/20 in his four overs in the first T20I on Friday. Wood is out injured and may not play the next game too.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;You are always going to miss Mark Wood. He is feeling better today so hopefully he&#39;ll be fit for the next game. If not, then for the fourth game. We were prepared coming into the series. The next game is on a red-soil pitch, so probably it is going to turn, but we welcome these challenges,&quot; said Morgan who made 28 off 20 balls.&nbsp;<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
