I think we'll go for the win – Josh Tongue insists England can chase down India
Tongue took three wickets in four balls on a dramatic fourth evening at Headingley as India left their hosts a chase of 371 – and a glimmer of hope in a game they should have killed off after hundreds from KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. England head into the final day needing 350 more with all 10 wickets intact, a tall order that would once have been considered mission impossible. Target acquired: 3️⃣7️⃣1️⃣ Missed Josh Tongue's three wickets in four balls? 🤯 Watch now with our catch-up highlights! 👇 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) June 23, 2025 But it was just three years ago, in the early days of Ben Stokes' captaincy, that they hunted down a record 378 at Edgbaston against the very same opponents. Better yet, they did it for the loss of only three wickets and roared home in the 77th over. With 90 at their disposal on Tuesday, there is no interest in batting out for a stalemate. There has been just one draw since Stokes took over as skipper, a rain-ruined clash with Australia in 2023. Asked if sharing the spoils in this series opener would be acceptable, Tongue said: 'No. I think we'll just go for the win. 'That's the clear message in the changing room. It's just being as positive as we can. They're going to bowl well at times, so it's just crucial we soak up that bit of pressure and reapply it again on their bowlers. 'I don't see why we can't chase that down. With our batting line-up I feel we can chase anything down.' Tongue also saw fit to raise memories of Stokes' finest hour as a Test cricketer, his 'miracle of Headingley' in 2019, where a magical century carried England to 359 by a solitary wicket. India's KL Rahul played with great control for his 137 (Danny Lawson/PA) 'I remember Stokesy's innings here against the Aussies,' he added with a smile. The target may well have been taken far out of England's grasp had India not imploded from 333 for four to 364 all out in their second innings. Tongue was the main reason for their hasty conclusion, wrapping up a triple-wicket maiden with the scalps of Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah. He was decisive against the tail in India's first innings collapse too and is ready to lean into Ben Duckett's suggested nickname, 'the mop'. 'I've done it twice now, so I might have to start calling myself that,' he said. 'When the lower order is in it's a good opportunity to get some wickets.' Rahul, who played with great control for his 137, is ready for fireworks as both teams fight to the end of a thrilling contest. 'It's a blockbuster finish waiting tomorrow,' he said. 'There's definitely going to be a result. That's what England have said very openly and their style of cricket suggests that as well. That gives us a good opportunity to pick up 10 wickets.'

‘We can chase anything': Tongue bullish as England look to overhaul India total
After blowing away India's tail for the second time in the game, pocketing a three-wicket maiden in the process, Josh Tongue said England were confident of scoring the 371 runs they need to claim victory in the opening Test, insisting: 'With our batting lineup we can chase anything.' England survived six overs before stumps to reach 21 without loss, leaving 350 to get on what is forecast to be a rain-affected final day. Should they reach their target it would be the highest successful run chase at Headingley – or for that matter anywhere in England – for 77 years, beating by nine the 362 they scored in the extraordinary Ashes encounter here in 2019. 'We're really confident,' Tongue said. 'If you look at our batting lineup it's obviously very strong. We play a positive brand of cricket. So I think chasing 371 is going to be a good thing for us to do. I feel like with that batting lineup we can chase down anything. Their bowlers are obviously going to bowl well in periods of the game. It's just soaking up that pressure and then reapplying it back on to them. 'We'll go for the win. That's the clear message in the changing room. It's just being as positive as we can. I don't see why we can't chase that down.' Tongue said of the wicket that 'when they were batting it flattened out', but KL Rahul, one of two Indian centurions alongside Rishabh Pant, said that had not been his experience across 247 balls at the crease. Forecasting 'a blockbuster finish', he warned England that their aggression could be their undoing. 'There's definitely going to be a result. That's what England have said very openly and their style of cricket suggests that,' he said. 'That gives us a good opportunity to pick up 10 wickets. It was a very tricky wicket – I spent a lot of time batting out there and I didn't feel set at all at any stage. With this wicket you never know what to expect.' Though both enjoyed considerable success Rahul's precise strokeplay contrasted markedly with the charismatic and unconventional approach of Pant. 'You just stand there and admire and sometimes scratch your head about the shot selection and the cricket that he plays,' Rahul said.
