England bowler Tim Bresnan does not expect India to make life easy.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s side are coming under strong criticism locally after losing consecutive one-day matches to fierce rivals Pakistan, but Bresnan is ready for a response.

“India are a good side, make no bones about that,” he continued.

“Each and every international team has a dip in form but they can come back very strong and very quickly. We are expecting a stern test.”

England have another practice day tomorrow before Ashley Giles oversees his first match as an international coach, a warm-up against an inexperienced looking India A. As far as Bresnan is concerned, though, nothing has changed.

“It is the same as any tour match, we’re looking to win and that’s the bottom line,” he said.

“Winning is a habit and we’re looking to get into it very quickly.”
