Get 6 wickets in 1st hour: England coach warns India ahead of Lord's Test finale
Marcus Trescothick fired a warning to India. The England assistant coach said he is confident tha the Jofra Archer-led bowling group is capable of taking the remaining six Indian wickets on Day 5 of the third Test at Lord's and going 2-1 up in the series. England left India reeling at 58/4 at stumps on Day 4, chasing a target of 193 in the fourth innings. Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes were amongst the wickets as England were all over India in the final session of a result, the game is nicely set up heading into Day 5 with India needing another 135 runs to win while England need six wickets. When asked about his team's chances on the final day of the Test match, Marcus Trescothick said that bowlers are able to extract more bounce while bowling from the pavilion end, which could turn out to be decisive and help them take the remaining six wickets in the first session vs IND 3rd Test Day 4 Updates 'You kind of see a bit more bounce bowling from the nursery end while bowling from the pavilion end, maybe a bit more use of the slope where it angles back towards the stump. That's hopefully what we'll see again tomorrow and hopefully it'll seam everywhere and we'll get 6 wickets in the first hour. A couple of late wickets in the day gives them that hope that, we're bang on the money, so it will revolve around the first hour of the day tomorrow. How positive India can be, how dominant we can be with the ball, and how many early wickets we can get,' said Trescothick in the press conference at the end of the day's he also gave an update on Shoaib Bashir's injury and revealed that the England off-spinner is fit to bowl. Bashir injured his finger on left arm while trying to stop a shot from Ravindra Jadeja during his bowling on Day 3.'He's fit to bowl. Well, he's ready to bowl. The regulation, as I believe, is he can come on to bowl as and when he's needed, and then if he's not bowling at any stage, he can then come back off because it's obviously an external blow. So, should we need him, he will be ready to bowl,' he India will be up against history on Day 5 as they've won just three out of 23 matches while chasing a fourth innings target in England. Their last win while chasing in the fourth innings came back in 2007, when they surpassed the target of 73 at Trent Bridge, highest successful chase in England came way back in 1971, when they chased down 173 to win the match by four wickets at the Oval in London and register both their maiden match and series win in the country. It's extremely crucial for India that KL Rahul, who's unbeaten 33*, gets involved in a good partnership with Rishabh Pant who will join him at the crease on Day 5.- EndsMust Watch

"We wanted 250-plus": England batting coach on ideal target for India
London [UK], July 14 (ANI): Following a heart-pounding and back-and-forth fourth day of Test match cricket at Lord's, England batting coach Marcus Trescothick spoke on how crowd's energy got his bowlers in the game during the final few overs of the day and also added that the batting unit was looking at setting a target of 250-plus for India. Unpredictable bounce, sledges and game-changing bowling spells defined the fourth day of the third Test at Lord's as a terrifying spell from Brydon Carse and a 'Ben Stokes miracle' just before the day ended left India with a massive disadvantage at 58/4 while chasing 193 runs to take a series lead. Speaking after the match, offering an assessment of his team's batting performance, Trescothick said, 'I think we always wanted 250-plus, of course we did. But I think after the first innings it was really hard to judge what a good score was going to be because there was definitely more variation in bounce this morning than we had seen at any time in the game really.' 'Again, we would have loved to have had more runs than what we did but I still feel like we have got a decent score on the board with something to really push towards tomorrow. So, I do not think we are going to sit back and dwell on what has happened today too much. We will look forward to what is going to happen tomorrow,' he added. Speaking on his team's plans for the final day, the former England left-handed batter said that it all depends on the first hour of play tomorrow. 'It will revolve around the first hour of the day tomorrow, how positive India can be, how dominant we can be with the ball and how many early wickets we can get,' he said. Trescothick admitted that it was the crowd's energy that got his bowlers into the game during the final few overs. 'I think already we have seen four good days of cricket and two games which have been well supported, but that last hour or half an hour, the support and the energy around the ground made it amazing, really, did not it? Everybody was invested into it. From an England point of view, we love those sorts of situations when the crowd is really up behind the team. Hopefully, we can get a bit more of that tomorrow and we can push forward to winning the game.' 'I think we had momentum a little bit towards the back end. When you are going out with a new ball, you are always hoping then you're going to pick up early wickets.' 'We got an early one, then they got a partnership, but I think the buzz around the ground at the end really gave the boys the lift that they needed. A couple of late wickets in the day give them that hope that we are bang on the money,' he continued. Speaking on the status of Shoaib Bashir, who injured himself while bowling on day three but batted on day four, Trescothick said that he is 'fit and ready' to bowl. On KL Rahul's solid old-school technique and brilliant run in this series so far, Trescothick said, 'Well along with other players of course you know you know himself, Rishabh you know they are both very very dangerous players obviously in different ways for what they're trying to do but Kale's been you know classical old-school style of test cricket isn't he? He had left the ball really well, judgment of the length is good, looked to bat for a long period of time and he has done it well.' 'Obviously 100 in the first innings (for KL Rahul), hopefully you know we can get him out early and we can start getting into the rest of the tail as they come along but he has been you know he is been pretty dominant in a few of the games that he has played and he has pretty much got a score in most things that he has played so,' he added. India ended the day four in a severely disadvantaged spot at 58/4 while chasing 193 runs during the third Test against Lord's on Sunday. At the end of the day's play, KL was left unscathed at 33*. While stars like Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar are yet to come and deliver their services as a batter, losing four wickets this early has put India under severe pressure. At the final session, England started at 175/6, with skipper Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes unbeaten at 27* and 8* respectively. Washington Sundar continued running through England's key players, with his delivery crashing into Stokes' middle-stump, removing him for 33 in 96 balls, with three fours. England was 181/7. After a long grind throughout the day, Jasprit Bumrah was finally among the wickets as he removed Brydon Carse (1) and Chris Woakes (10) in quick succession, England was reduced to 185/9. Sundar, who changed the game for his side, fittingly took Jofra Archer's wicket, completing his four wicket haul, bundling out England for 192 in 62 overs. Sundar (4/22) was sensational with the ball, while Bumrah (2/38) and Siraj (2/31) also bowled brilliantly. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Akash also made it to the wicket charts with one-piece each. During the run-chase of 193 runs, Jofra Archer delivered England just the start they needed, as he once again got better of opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, as an uncontrolled attempt at pull shot landed straight into Jamie Smith's hands, removing him for a seven-ball duck. India was 5/1. KL Rahul was joined by Karun Nair on the other end. Rahul, who had scored a century just during the last innings, looked in sublime touch as he continued to find boundaries against Woakes and Archer. Carse started his reign of terror against India as he broke the prospering 36-run stand between the duo, trapping Nair lbw for 14. He also continued to get better of skipper Shubman Gill on numerous occasions, before finally trapping him lbw as well for just six, making this outing a failure for the captain. India sunk to 53/3. Akash joined KL as a nightwatchman. At one point, while he was receiving some medical attention, Stokes exchanged a few words with KL and clapped his hands, referring to the sledging Gill-led Indians had put his openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett during final few moments of day four. But just before day end, skipper Stokes produced the wicket his side needed to put India on psychological disadvantage, removing the nightwatchman for just 1. India ended the day with KL unbeaten.

England will look to be ruthless in front of a packed Lord's as they chase win in third Test against India on tantalising final day, says batting coach Marcus Trescothick
Marcus Trescothick has called on England to be ruthless at a packed out Lord's on Monday as they look to take the six wickets remaining to take a 2-1 series lead against India. After England were bowled out for 192, a late burst from Brydon Carse helped leave India 58 for four at close, still 135 runs behind their target to set up a tantalising final day. 'It will revolve around the first hour of the day and how positive India can be or how dominant we can be and how many wickets we can get,' said Trescothick. 'We are desperate to win. It's going to be amazing. 'We've seen four amazing days of cricket and two games which have been well supported. The last hour, with the energy around the ground was amazing. Everybody was invested. 'From an England point of view, it was brilliant. We love those situations where the crowd is really behind the team. Hopefully we get more of that and push on to win the game. If we can create an atmosphere like that - it might take a wicket to get it like that or for Joe (Root) to wind them up again, but the support has been brilliant throughout. 'Everyone loves their cricket and we will have a full house which gets to see the finale of an amazing Test,' the England batting coach added. Brydon Carse picked up two wickets on day four to leave the game finely poised ahead of the final day Jofra Archer got rid of Yashasvi Jaiswal before Carse removed both Karun Nair and Shubman Gill and in the last over of the day, Ben Stokes bowled nightwatchman Akash Deep to leave the game on a knife-edge on a pitch that sprung into life on Sunday, with 14 wickets falling. 'I think the majority of what we have seen is variation in bounce from quick bowlers and people who can bowl wobble seam - that's the talk of the town,' said Trescothick. 'It's a dangerous ball on this pitch. We've seen a bit more bounce from the Nursery End than the Pavilion End. Hopefully it seams everywhere and we get six wickets in the first hour,' he added. Meanwhile, Washington Sundar, who took four for 22 for India, insisted that the tourists are confident of pulling off the run chase, with KL Rahul, who scored 100 in the first innings, unbeaten on 33 and Rishabh Pant set to join him at the crease. 'We'll take it any day. We'll really come out positive,' said Sundar. 'We have some solid batters in the dressing room and winning a Test at Lord's is going to be amazing,' he added. Off-spinner Shoaib Bashir, who damaged his finger on day three, is available to bowl for England, with Trescothick confirming that Bashir is fit and ready if required.

England Coach Excited For Final Day: 'If I Knew Who Would Win Tomorrow...'
Last Updated: England aims to set a target over 250. England, six wickets away from victory, were buoyed by a sellout crowd. India ended day four at 58/4, chasing 193. England batting coach Marcus Trescothick stated that the team aimed to set a target exceeding 250 as India need 135 runs more to win, while the hosts are just six wickets away from clinching the 3rd Test of the five-match series. 'We always wanted 250-plus. In the first innings, it was hard to judge what a decent score would be. We have something to push on for tomorrow. Bashir is fit to bowl. He can come on when he is needed," said the former opener, referring to the off-spinner's finger injury on his non-bowling hand. The England players were buoyed by a sellout crowd in the last 30 minutes of play, which helped them on the field, added Trescothick. 'If I knew who would win tomorrow I would relax a little bit. Both teams are desperate to win. Amazing four days of cricket. The last half hour was amazing. The crowd was behind the team and we love that sort of situation. 'Buzz around the ground gave the boys hope that they needed. A lot will revolve around the first hour of play tomorrow," Trescothick noted. The Indian batters will need to be cautious of the wobbled seam deliveries, given what has transpired over the first four days. 'What we have seen is variation in bounce for quick bowlers. Wobble seam ball, the talk of the town are dangerous deliveries here. Hopefully it will seam everywhere and we get six wickets in the first session," said Trescothick with a hint of humour. Who Can Win The 3rd Test? India lost opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (0), Karun Nair (14), and skipper Shubman Gill (6) cheaply, trailing by 135 runs heading into the final day. Earlier, England were bowled out for 192 in their second innings in 62.1 overs. Spin all-rounder Washington Sundar starred with four wickets for 22 runs, while Mohammed Siraj (2/31) and Jasprit Bumrah (2/38) picked up two wickets each. Akash Deep also took one wicket. Resuming the third session at 175 for 6, England lost their last four wickets for just 17 runs. Washington dismissed Stokes (33) shortly after tea and removed last man Shoaib Bashir (2). Bumrah claimed the scalps of Chris Woakes (10) and Brydon Carse (1).

England look to crowd to spur them to final-day Test win against India
England have called on a sell-out day-five crowd to roar them to victory at Lord's after a raucous atmosphere towards the end of Sunday spurred them to take four India wickets and set up a cliffhanger conclusion to the third Test. England were bowled out for 192 to leave India chasing 193 and England 10 wickets to take a 2-1 lead in the series. Though the first-innings centurion KL Rahul was unbeaten on 33 at the close, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Karun Nair and Shubman Gill were all dismissed cheaply before Ben Stokes uprooted the off stump of Akash Deep, the nightwatcher, with the final ball of the day to leave the tourists 58 for four overnight. 'The buzz around the ground really gave the boys the lift they needed,' said Marcus Trescothick, the team's assistant coach. 'And a couple of late wickets gave them that hope that we're bang on the money. So it will revolve around the first hour of the day, how positive India can be, how dominant we can be with the ball, and how many early wickets we can get. 'If we can create some form of atmosphere that's very similar to that – it may not start the same way, it might take a wicket to get it going, we might need Joe [Root] to wind them up again. But the support has been brilliant throughout, both teams are really well-supported, and it's great that we have that.' At times the rancour seen towards the close on Saturday spilled out again, with Mohammed Siraj aggressively celebrating the early dismissal of Ben Duckett, and India borrowing some of the delaying tactics previously deployed by Zak Crawley as they sought to limit the number of overs bowled before stumps. This undercurrent of aggression seems to be supercharging the motivation of both teams. 'It definitely helps in this situation, having that competitive edge from both teams where they're desperate to win,' Trescothick said. 'I have no problem at all with what goes on. There was a bit on [Saturday] night, there was a similar situation tonight. Of course both teams know there's always lines you can't cross, but I don't think it's really been troubled too much in this game and it definitely helps the atmosphere.' Washington Sundar, who took four wickets in an innings for the first time in a Test outside India, said his side were 'sitting pretty' and that he was 'looking forward to tomorrow in every way', with the release of their more competitive spirits helping his teammates to thrive.

'There was an incident that happened and it sort of came out last evening, and it did come out quite a bit today as well. So it's all the more interesting for all of us. It's sport and everyone is quite aggressive and quite intense in their own ways – no matter the sport, if you're an athlete it's a common fact, it's always inside of an individual.'
