England was tasked with a 399-run chase in the second test match against India in Visakhapatnam, up from the initial target of 332 runs. James Anderson's optimistic prediction of England's victory fell short as the team was bowled out for 292, resulting in a 106-run defeat. Despite England coach Brendon McCullum's aggressive approach and their previous successes with high run-chases, England could not overcome the formidable task. This defeat stands despite Anderson's earlier comments about India's nervous appearance during the second Test's second innings.
