England skipper Ben Stokes on Monday said he had full belief in his batters' ability to chase a near-impossible 399 against India on a difficult track in the lost IND vs ENG 2nd Test because 'scoreboard pressure' usually got the best out of them.

England lost by 106 runs but did not abandon their ultra-aggressive 'Bazball' approach during the chase. However, barring Zak Crawley (73), the visiting batters could not convert their starts into big scores.
