1st Test: First Half Hour Will Be Crucial, Hopefully England Get More Runs On Board, Says Tongue
Tendulkar Trophy Test: England fast bowler Josh Tongue believes the first 30 minutes will be vital for the hosts to add more runs and inch closer to taking the lead over India on the upcoming day three of the first Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Headingley on Sunday.
Ollie Pope’s unbeaten ninth Test century helped England reach 209/3 in 49 overs at stumps on day two’s play and trail India by 262 runs. "The first half hour will be crucial, getting through that period and then hopefully getting more runs on the board. It has been a good, tough couple of days of cricket."
"We only took three wickets on the first day but I felt everyone tried their hardest and that we were a bit unlucky. But we came back yesterday, getting four wickets in the first session and then mopping up the tail so we are happy where we are," said Tongue in a chat with broadcasters Sky Sports.
