One-day captain Eoin Morgan has thrown his weight behind beleaguered England coach Trevor Bayliss.
Bayliss - England's coach across all formats of the game - has come under increasing pressure following the nine-wicket loss to Pakistan at Lord's, leaving England winless in their last eight Tests.
England have no such problems in the short form of the game, and Morgan, who also worked under Bayliss at Indian Premier League side Kolkata Knight Riders, says the Australian retains his full support.
"I think he is a brilliant coach," Morgan told Sky Sports News.

"I have had brilliant experiences with him - both in the IPL and in an England shirt - and I think the big strength of Trevor's is that he has the ability as a coach to take any seamless pressure away from you as a player and as a team.
"I think that I a very important attribute that not a lot of coaches have. I really enjoy working with him and I think he has a lot to offer."
