2nd Test: Very Important That India Have A Crack At England Tonight With The Ball, Says Shastri
Tendulkar Trophy Test: Former India head coach Ravi Shastri said that the Shubman Gill-led side should look to have an opportunity of bowling at England in the final session of day four’s play in the second Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test after amassing a lead of even 500 runs.
India’s lead swelled to 357 runs after reaching 177/3 in 38 overs of their second innings at lunch on day four, with KL Rahul making 55 and Rishabh Pant hitting a quickfire 41 not out. Pant is also involved in an unbeaten partnership of 51 for the fourth wicket with captain Shubman Gill, who’s held fort with 24 not out.
"If Pant and Gill stay for an hour and India bat for another two hours, they may even entertain thoughts of 500, instead of 450. It is very important India have a crack at England tonight with the ball and realise that pressure period, of one hour before stumps, when they might be able to pick up two or three wickets. India have to call the shots," said Shastri on Sky Sports’ broadcast.
