Former England captain Nasser Hussain reveals that there should be no panic regarding Alastair Cook's side's batting performance against Australia.

Former England captain Nasser Hussain believes that there is no problem with the way Alastair Cook's side are batting in the ICC Champions Trophy.

The Three Lions came under criticism for failing to reach 300 in their win over Australia on Saturday, with Jonathan Trott coming under fire for his slow strike-rate.

Hussain wrote in his column in the Daily Mail: "I am certainly comfortable with how England are batting.

"Fifty overs is a long time and you can't have everyone teeing off. Trott is the one who cops most abuse but just look at his record. If he and Ian Bell are together, it can cause issues.

"However, Trott showed at the Ageas Bowl against New Zealand that he can be busier when necessary, while Bell is capable of upping his strike-rate when the need arises."

England are next in action against Sri Lanka in their Group A clash on Wednesday.
