On the other hand, with England needing 324 more runs to clinch the series 3-1, Josh Tongue has thrown his support behind the England batters to flourish on Day 4.
England have eight wickets in hand to case down 324 more runs, following Chris Woakes’ injury and Zak Crawley falling on the last ball of day three.
“Pretty chilled, not much overthinking about it. I was asked the same question at Headingley, so I don’t see why not we can’t chase down these runs,” said Tongue.
“I think how we play as a batting unit is obviously very positive and very exciting. The batting that we’ve got, I can’t see why we can’t give it a good go.”
Reflecting on his own learnings from the hard-fought series, the pacer said,
“I think a lot of up and downs. I feel like sometimes I didn’t bowl as best as I could, especially the first day here.
“Let’s just say I forgot about that first over. Very chuffed to get the wickets. And the main thing is getting the wickets for the team and put us in good positions to win games of cricket.”
Tongue picked up his second five-for figures in Test cricket, finishing with 5-125 as India were bowled out for 396 in their second innings.
