England chased a record 378 against India at Edgbaston three years ago and more recently did not have much difficulty in chasing 371 in the series opener at Leeds.
Josh Tongue, who took a five-wicket haul in India’s second innings, said the batters would be going after the target despite losing Zak Crawley at stroke of stumps.
“We are pretty chilled, not overthinking about it. I don’t see why we can’t chase down these runs. How we play as a batting unit, it is very positive,” said Tongue adding that batting became easier on day three after the use of heavy roller.
“The first two days it did quite a bit from good length. Heavy roller made the difference. The odd ball still did something and jumped off length in the final session,” he added.
