History-making seamer Josh Tongue hailed England’s bowling unit for the “amazing job” they did on Friday and said more of the same was planned to get a result in the fourth Ashes Test.
Tongue led the attack at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, bagging 5-45 as the hosts were dismissed for 152. In doing so, he became the first England bowler this century to collect a five-wicket haul in a Test at the cavernous stadium.
But with England skittled out for 110 in 29.5 overs in less than a session, the pace bowling battery have another big job ahead on Saturday to keep their side in the game. “It’s been an amazing day of Test match cricket,” said the Nottinghamshire quick after his best bowling return in his eighth Test.
Obviously, coming to the ground here this morning, winning the toss, putting the Aussies into bat and bowling them out for 150 odd, I thought we did an amazing job as a bowling unit,” he added.
