Shastri Urges India to Stick to Basics After England’s Blistering Start at The Oval

By IANS News August 01, 2025 • 19:40 PM View: 402

Former head coach Ravi Shastri believes India must focus on maintaining a strict line and length to build pressure from both ends if they are to bounce back in the ongoing fifth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series at The Oval here on Friday.

By the time lunch break came, England reached 109/1 in 16 overs, and trail India by 115 runs with Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope unbeaten on 52 and 12 respectively. Crawley also shared a 92-run opening stand with Ben Duckett, who hit a quick 43, as India’s pacers were unable to nail their lines and lengths to leak a staggering 21 boundaries.
