<p>Chennai: Middle-order batter Tilak Varma's "mature" unbeaten 72 was the difference between India and England in the second T20I here, reckoned visitors's pace bowling all-rounder Brydon Carse.</p>.<p>Tilak's fifty helped India chase down 166 in a tense chase at the Chepauk on Saturday as the home side took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.</p>.<p>"I felt like we got a decent score on the board towards the end. We kept on taking wickets throughout the game. But, you know, credit goes to Tilak and I think he played a very mature, smart innings and ultimately he was the difference," said Carse in the post-match press conference.</p>.<p>Carse, who had a good game scoring a 17-ball 31 besides taking three wickets, defended his fellow quick Jofra Archer despite him conceding 60 runs in four overs.</p>.I wanted to take on England's best bowler as others too will feel pressure: Tilak Varma on Archer assault.<p>Archer was taken apart by Tilak who smashed four sixes off the English fast bowler.</p>.<p>"A couple of nights ago, Jofra had an amazing spell up front. I still think he bowled pretty well tonight. He was pretty unfortunate. I don't know the exact number, but a lot of runs (were scored) over the keeper's head behind square.</p>.<p>"I suppose that sometimes happens, you know, when you bowl 90 mile an hour," said Carse.</p>.<p>England's downright aggression with both bat and ball has not really paid any dividends in the series so far, but Carse found no reason to change their approach.</p>.<p>"I think we're always going to try and take the game on in the power play, whether that's with bat and ball. But there's probably always room to improve. But I think we're always going to take that aggressive approach," he said.</p>.<p>However, Carse discovered some positives in the tight finish that did not go England's way.</p>.<p>"It's obviously a defeat, but these sorts of close finishes will do wonders for you going forward for the rest of the season and the Champions Trophy. But ultimately we haven't put a full performance in.</p>.<p>"So, it's quite exciting to see where we can get to over these next couple of games." The 29-year-old, however, conceded that England do not have much wriggle room after two successive defeats with three more matches remaining.</p>.<p>"Two games gone now, three to play, there's no room now. You've got a win now, so every game's going to be serious. Obviously guys are a little bit down, but as a whole, I think it's pretty inevitable that the performance tonight was a lot better than the other night," added Carse.</p>
