Moeen Ali says hed had enough of giving his wicket away and now tries to bat like a top-order batsman for England. One of three centurions for England as they scored 537 in their first innings on day two of the first Test against India in Rajkot, Ali says he changed his approach after being left embarrassed by some of his previous dismissals.I try now to have the mindset of a top-order batsman, said Ali. When I go in I almost pretend were one wicket down for not too many, and try to play to that situation. Ive had enough of giving my wicket away; I was embarrassed with some of the ways I was getting out. I will still do that sometimes, but the less often, the better. The best of the action from the second day of the first Test between India and England in Rajkot. I really enjoy batting at five. It keeps me in the game for longer, while still letting me have a break after bowling, if Ive been in the field for a long time.Before this innings, I felt a little bit lethargic as I went out to bat, so I thought to get myself going, Im going to play a little bit like a one-day game, especially against the spinners, and use my feet.Normally I back myself to hit over the top straight away, that sort of immature batting. But I wont do that as much anymore, its more about knocking the spinners off their length, picking up singles and rotating the strike. Staff at the Rajkot Hotel surprise England cricketers Moeen Ali and Joe Root with a cake after their impressive innings When the time is right, and Im playing well, I will still hit over the top. But I just need to back my defence a bit more against spin.Despite Alis new mature approach, he still fell in bizarre fashion when he was finally dismissed; bowled by Mohammad Shami not playing a shot.I found facing Shami particularly tough to play on that wicket, Ali added. He was bowling really well, reversing it both ways. Moeen Ali falls in bizarre fashion for 117, bowled when leaving a straight ball from Mohammed Shami. I thought he had maybe one more over left in him, so I was just trying to see him through - I left one ball, and it was obviously the wrong thing to do.England failed to take an Indian wicket in the final 23 overs of day two, with the hosts closing on 63-0, but those personal struggles against reverse-swing, and some encouraging turn during his six overs with the ball, have Ali optimistic of Englands chances on day three.I thought we bowled alright up to stumps, but they just played really well. We just need to continue to be patient, as Saqlain Mushtaq keeps telling us. There were signs of reverse-swing and spin late on, which is encouraging ahead of tomorrow, and with a couple of wickets - I know they are brilliant players of spin - I feel we could get into them.All three spinners bowled well at the end of the day. That helps me a lot, because for the team I want to out bowl the other two spinners.Obviously we want to build partnerships together as bowlers, but from a personal point of view I want to out bowl them and take more wickets.Live coverage from day three of the first Test between India and England begins on Sky Sports 2 from 3.45am on Friday.
