England's Josh Tongue is asked about the pitch after 20 wickets fell on day one of the fourth Ashes Test.

00:01Yeah, it's been an amazing day of test match cricket on Boxing Day, obviously coming to
00:04the ground here this morning and winning the toss and putting the Aussies into bat and
00:09obviously bowling them out for 150-odd.
00:11I thought we did an amazing job as a bowling unit and obviously they've bowled well as
00:16well.
00:17It's obviously a pitch which is doing quite a bit, but yeah, we've got to come back to
00:21mine and do the same again what we did the first innings.
00:23It's doing quite a bit, is it doing too much for doing one of the test matches?
00:29I'm not too sure to be fair.
00:31I feel like if you put the ball in the right areas, which I felt like we did today as a
00:35bowling unit, you're going to get your rewards.
00:38So if you just stay patient and hang in there, I think I feel like that fuller length definitely
00:43helped, it helped me definitely with my angle and making sure you're hitting the pitch hard
00:48as well.
00:49So I felt like if you were that short of a length, you just sort of sat up a tiny bit, but just
00:52making sure you're brave with your length.
