Despite losing a fiery second Test at Lord’s, head coach Silverwood won’t allow his side to retreat into their shells.

The aggro on the field suited India skipper Virat Kohli and his charged-up players, who have promised more of the same.

And even though emotions got the better of Joe Root’s England on the final morning, Silverwood is certain they can be channelled in the right way at Headingley next week. “I don’t want us to lose the passion,” he said.
