England is “fairly refrigerated” on the intimidating perspective to beat a 123 -year -old record at Kia Oval, with Josh Tongue feeling a feeling of already seen while the Rothesay test series is heading for an exciting final.
The continuation of the highest fourth worse at Kia Oval was 263 years in 1902 and England must break that if they want to reach 374, they must transform a score of 2-1 into a triumph of 3-1.

They had a major blow when Zak Crawley lost his strain to face a Yorker Siraj Mohammed of the last ball on the third day, leaving them 50 for a night with 324 points still to obtain.
But Tongue insisted that they were relaxed on the task, having displayed 373 for five to win the first test of the series in the Yorkshire.
By coincidence, the Nottinghamshire sailor gave the press conference the day before this match and was optimistic about the chances of England.
Having seen his faith rewarded once, it was more than happy to double.
“It is a replay of Headingley. I was then asked the same question, so I do not see why we cannot chase these races,” he said.

“We are quite refrigerated on this subject. There is not much reflection. The way we play as a hitting a hit is very positive, very exciting. With the programming we have, I don’t see why we can’t try.
“It will be a great day of cricket and a great day for us if we get the races. It’s been a bit, a few balls tonight have jumped from a good length, but if you spend the first hour, who knows? “
England has theoretically nine counters in hand, but can only have eight to play, the dislocated shoulder of Chris Woake, which means that a remarkable set of circumstances should take place to consider even trying to beat.
The absence of Woakes meant that the remaining designers had to take an additional burden, the language rewarded for 30 plows of labor with a second transport of five counters during tests.

This means that he puts an end to the series as the first fellowship in his country with 19 to 29.05, despite the Old Trafford and Lord’s matches.
“We knew that we were going to bowl a lot there and it was unfortunate for Wiz injury, nobody likes it to a bowler,” he said.
“It would obviously be a difficult demand for us as what else and I thought we are very well stuck. I had a lot of ups and downs.

“Sometimes I feel that I was not as good as I could, but I am obviously very dropped to get the counters. The main thing is to get counters for the team and put us in a position to win cricket matches.”

Yashasvi Jaiswal, who led his team’s efforts with a fine 118 which was increased by crucial contributions from Akash Deep (66) and Washington Sundar (53), expected his team to Nivelle 2-2.
“Of course, I think we are quite confident,” he said.
“We just have to focus on our process and continue bowling in the right areas. This is what we think.
“We want this, we want a battle in the middle.”
