India, Japan gear-up for 2nd match of Test Series

BHUBANESWAR: After a high-intense drawn match against Japan, India will now step-on the field with a single goal of wining their second match to put a strong hold in the four-Test Series here tomorrow.

India displayed rusty defence yesterday during their 1-1 draw against Japan to begin its four-match Test series on a disappointing note and skipper Sardar Singh will hope his team puts up a better show tomorrow.

Tomorrow Indian players will have to tackle Japan's long passes as well as contain them in their half to create maximum goal-scoring opportunities.
