England are "about breaking records", assistant coach Jeetan Patel said Friday as the home team contemplate a huge run chase against Australia in the second Ashes Test at Lord's. Patel, England's spin-bowling coach, was asked what would be a realistic target to chase for a side who have attacked relentlessly over the past year. "This team is about breaking records, they want to set new standards. "We want to force swings in the game that come back our way a bit like you would see in white-ball cricket." Patel said the second Test was finely poised, even though Ashes-holders and world Test champions Australia appear to be clear favorites.
