Trevor Bayliss expects an Australian backlash at Trent Bridge after the home nation’s eight wicket victory at Edgbaston.

The England Head Coach has granted his charges some additional time off after completing victory inside three days in Birmingham, but he has warned them to return mentally prepared for a difficult encounter.

“You don’t have the success over a period of time that they’ve had without being able to put those things behind you, as we did ourselves in this game.

“If we win 3-2, we will take 3-2. Obviously we want to win the next one and take the fifth game out of it. We’ll certainly be playing to win the next match.

“I think we can take some lessons out of this match. Some of the Australians will be under pressure, as we were in this game, and hopefully we will be able to build on that pressure in the next match and not let them up off the floor.

“The message to the boys is go away and relax for a few extra days but come back with their own personal plans in place.

“I think that was the big change for us in this game. I think guys had their own plans in their own minds and went out and did it. I felt in London that we just got away from our individual plans on how to bat and bowl against this opposition.

“Confidence is a great thing to have, but we’ve got to be aware that we had that after the first Test and we got to Lord’s and I don’t think we bowled terribly well with the new ball on day one.

“We’ve got to have that in the back of our minds and work out exactly what we’ve got to do.”

Michael Clarke was critical of his own performance in the aftermath of the Edgbaston Test, claiming his side have effectively been playing with ten men.

But Bayliss knows his fellow countryman better then to write him off, believing England must be at their best to contain the Australia Captain at Trent Bridge.

“Michael has had a long career and had a few runs of form like this in the past and he’s come back from them,” Bayliss said.

“The last thing I want to do or England want to do is forecast his demise because that’s just giving him ammunition to come out and score a heap of runs.

“He is a guy with plenty of experience and lot of Test runs behind him. We are certainly not taking him lightly and fully expect to see him in the next match.”
