5th Test: India Will Want For The Lead To Go Past 350 Against England, Says Ponting
Tendulkar Trophy Test: Former Australia captain Ricky Ponting said India will be aiming for taking their lead past 350 against England in the ongoing fifth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test, adding that it can add pressure on the tiring hosts who are bowling with only three seamers.
At tea, India extended their lead to 281 runs after reaching 304/6 in 71 overs, with Yashasvi Jaiswal making 118. Anything above 350 runs means England will be facing the challenge of becoming the first team in The Oval’s history to chase a fourth-innings target beyond 275.
“It’s not safe yet. I think they're going to want 350 to be honest. The reason I'm saying that is, and one of the reasons that their scores are trending up, is the workload on the bowlers. England with only their three seamers.”
