‘They Require…’: Sachin Tendulkar’s Advise to England How They Can Chase 251 to Win 3rd Ashes Test – News18

The third Test of Ashes 2023 has been moving at lightning pace despite rain washing out majority of Day 3 at Headingley. Resuming on their overnight score of 116/4, Australia continued losing wickets regularly and it took a fighting half-century from Travis Head that helped them to 224-all out and set England 251 to win.

England were 27/0 in five overs when the play came to an end on Saturday and with two days remaining, they are the favourites unless a batting collapse scuppers their chances.

India batting legend Sachin Tendulkar seems to be keeping a close eye on the proceedings in Leeds and was a word of advice for the Ben Stokes-led hosts to ‘bat sensibly’ without giving up their positive approach.

“The first hour at Headingley is going to be critical tomorrow,’ Tendulkar wrote on Twitter.

He continued, “I feel the wicket is playing absolutely fine and if England bat sensibly and are positive in their approach they will get there. They require discipline in their shot selection with a positive approach and the total will be chased.”
