WATCH: Josh Tongue makes huge prediction ahead of final day in ENG vs IND first Test match

England pacer Josh Tongue made a huge prediction ahead of Day 5 of the ongoing Headingley Test. The host team needs 350 runs to defeat Team India and take a 1-0 advantage in the five-match Test series. As the last day (June 24, 2025) is going to be decisive, and England, with their own 'Bazball' approach, Tongue hinted at a thrilling day at Leeds.

Ben Stokes' team will enter the field with all of their 10 wickets in hand and probably can go out with all their fireworks, as the fast bowler said during the press conference after Day 4, "Just go for the win." From team India, KL Rahul was the representative in the conference. With a smile, he agreed with what Tongue said—just go for the win. The Headingley Test is in a well-balanced position, with both teams having 50-50 chances to win the battle. 

"No. We will just go for the win. That’s the clear message in the changing room. It’s just about being as positive as we can. They’re going to bowl well at times tomorrow; it’s just crucial we soak up that bit of pressure and reapply it. I don’t see why we can’t chase that down," the Englishman said this during the media brief.

England confident about getting the winning runs 

"We are very confident. Looking at our batting lineup, it’s very strong. We’ll play a positive brand of cricket. Chasing 371 is going to be a good thing for us to do tomorrow. Obviously, getting through the first 30-40 minutes will be crucial, but hopefully, we’ll get the winning runs tomorrow."

KL Rahul countered team England's representative with a brilliant reply. He clearly said that we'll be India's best chance to capture all the wickets and register a win.
