Will Shoaib Bashir Bowl In India's 193-Run Chase? England Coach Provides Big Update
Last Updated: Marcus Trescothick has confirmed that Shoaib Bashir is fit to bowl despite injury. Former England cricketer and current batting coach Marcus Trescothick has said that Shoaib Bashir is fit to bowl and he will come on when needed, after the star spinner suffered an injury to his hand and wasn't seen on the field for most of the day's play. Washington Sundar put India in the best possible position to win the Lord's Test with a four-wicket haul before batters stuttered to 58/4 at stumps on the fourth day, chasing 193 on a deteriorating track. '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," Trescothick said while speaking at the post-match press conference. After the good work of the pacers, Washington made the ball talk with his off-spin, his strikes permitting India to skittle out England for 192 in the final session. With 135 runs still required by India and six wickets standing between England and a memorable victory over India, Trescothick said that the mood can turn on the very first exchanges. '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. We are desperate to win. It's going to be amazing," Trescothick said. The former England cricketer said that he is backing the variation in bounce from his pacers and the wobbly seam to trouble India on the final day. '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. It's a dangerous ball on this pitch," Trescothick said. view comments First Published: July 14, 2025, 08:42 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Trescothick notes cricket's new warmth, stresses competitive fire
England assistant coach Marcus Trescothik feels cricket has become more friendly because of franchise tournaments all around the world, and that the constant nudging between India and the hosts in the ongoing Lord's Test has provided the much-needed competitive edge to the game. There has been exchange of words between India and England players in the third Test, but it has not led to bad blood, which is good for the game. "Having that competitive edge definitely helps the situation. It helps the atmosphere in the series," Trescothick said after the fourth day's play on Sunday. "Cricket has got a bit more friendly over the past few years because the players are together in franchise tournaments all over the world. Sometimes it's good to create something in the game. "Both teams are passionate about playing the game and it is understandable that at times it gets to a boiling point," he said. "There will be things that happen between the two teams but both teams know there's a line you can't cross but it's not really been troubled too much," he added. Going into the fifth and final day, the third Test is interestingly poised with India needing 135 more runs in their chase of 193, while England require six wickets. Chasing the target, India lost four wickets in the last hour for just 58 runs. "The last hour of viewing, our guys running in really well, there was an edge out there and it creates a great spectacle," said Trescothick. "We were fairly relaxed in the dressing room, controlling the emotions of what's going on. We all enjoy every wicket but we are still very controlled in what we are trying to do," added the former England opener. Trescothink said the first hour of the fifth day will decide the fate of the Test. "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," he said.

India eye Lord's glory as Sundar backs batting depth to chase 193 today
India's all-rounder Washington Sundar remains optimistic about his side's chances of chasing down 193 on a challenging Day Five pitch at Lord's, even after a dramatic collapse late on Day Four left the visitors reeling at 58 for four. India's chase for the 135 more runs will begin on Monday at 3:30 PM IST (11 AM local time). Final day equation: India need 135, England need 6 As the teams head into the final day, the equation is tantalisingly poised. India need 135 more runs, while England require six wickets. The chase is small by Test standards, but the pitch, pressure, and stakes at Lord's mean every run and every ball could be decisive. Meanwhile, Sundar, who starred with the ball to claim four wickets and bowl England out for 192 in their second innings, believes India's batting line-up still has the depth to get the job done. Preferred over Kuldeep Yadav for his dual ability with bat and ball, Sundar delivered with a timely four-wicket haul that broke England's resistance. Calling it one of his best days with the ball outside India, the 24-year-old said he came into the match with specific plans for both innings and was pleased to have executed them. 'You're thrown different roles at different times,' he said. 'That's the beauty of Test cricket—you need to adapt your mindset. Day Five requires a very different cricketer from Day One.' Sundar was especially pleased with the wicket of in-form Jamie Smith, whom he dismissed cleanly, underlining the importance of planning and patience on surfaces like Lord's. Asked about the rising tempers on the field, particularly after Saturday's Gill-Crawley flare-up, Sundar acknowledged that the aggression had spilled into Day Four as well. 'There's always aggression inside both dressing rooms. Yesterday's incident brought it to the surface, and it showed again today,' he said. 'It fuels us. That intensity is part of sport—every athlete has it in some form.' With Lord's buzzing and tempers flaring, the final day promises high-octane action, and Sundar knows the pressure will be immense—but so will the rewards. 'A win at Lord's would be very special for the entire team—and I'm sure, for you all as well,' he added with a smile. England hoped for 250-plus, says Trescothick Meanwhile, England batting coach Marcus Trescothick revealed that the team's plan was to set India a target well over 250, but they fell short after a strong start fizzled out. 'We were aiming for 250-plus. In the first innings, it was tough to assess what would be a good score. But now we've got something to defend,' said Trescothick, who confirmed that off-spinner Shoaib Bashir is fit to bowl despite a finger issue. Crowd support, seam conditions could shape the final hour Trescothick credited the buzzing atmosphere at Lord's in the final half hour for giving the English players a boost. 'That last half hour was fantastic. The crowd was behind us and gave the boys the lift they needed,' he said. 'A lot tomorrow will depend on the first hour. If I knew who would win, I could relax a bit—but both teams are desperate.' He also hinted at the surface aiding the seamers, particularly with the variation in bounce and effectiveness of the wobble-seam delivery over the past four days. 'Hopefully, it seams everywhere and we take six wickets in the first session,' Trescothick joked.
