Former England captain Michael Vaughan said Gay “played nicely” but might reflect on an missed opportunity to reach three figures for the first time after he dragged on a delivery from Razaullah Khan.<\/p>\n
“Emilio Gay found his balance early. He had it hard at the start and then he found his flow,” Vaughan said.<\/p>\n
“He’ll be really disappointed to get out for 60. He’ll be desperate to get his first Test match century and I thought it was on today. <\/p>\n
“That extra little bit of pace from Razaullah and a little lack of concentration at the end of the day has cost him.”<\/p>\n
England seamer Josh Tongue said Gay’s rigorous preparation has helped him develop the necessary powers of concentration for Test cricket.<\/p>\n
“The one thing I’ve seen in Emilio is he trains really hard in the nets. He’ll bat for ages, putting a lot of hard work in, and it’s shown on the pitch,” added Tongue.<\/p>\n
“Even last week at Lord’s, he had two quite horrible dismissals, but I felt today he batted unbelievable on a tricky pitch.<\/p>\n
“He was obviously really disappointed with how he got out. It’s not a nice feeling, chopping on, but he’s put the team in a really good position for tomorrow.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former England captain Michael Vaughan said Gay “played nicely” but might reflect on an missed opportunity to reach…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":765585,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-765584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/765584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=765584"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/765584\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/765585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=765584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=765584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=765584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
