India Ready To Bounce Back Against England

India are "chill" and confident in their bench strength to deliver a second Test bounce-back against England despite missing Virat Kohli and other key players, wicketkeeper K.S. Bharat said Thursday.

"It is very clear to us to bat with freedom."

The pitch remains in focus with the hosts expected to dish out a turning track in their bid to level the series.

"I haven't look at the wicket to be very honest," Bharat said.

"Whatever situation, whatever condition it is, you still have to play a good five days of Test and we are looking forward to it."
