England all-rounder Chris Woakes on Sunday said his team can chase down a record target of 368 runs in the fourth Test as the pitch remains good for batting. At stumps on the penultimate day, England were 77 for no loss with Haseeb Hameed (43*) and Rory Burns (31*) in the middle. "It's been a great Test to be a part of. Obviously, it was on fast forward on day one and two but the last two days have been real hard work of Test cricket.

"We have spent a lot of time on the field but to be none down at close was quality batting, credit to them. It will be a big day tomorrow," Woakes told reporters after the day's play. They still need 291 runs more to win and the comeback man Woakes, who had a match haul of seven wickets and a gritty 55, said they have the belief to do it. "291 on a day five pitch sounds like a tough ask but we got to keep reminding ourselves that this pitch is still good for batting and we can do it if we bat all the way down.
