England National Cricket Team Test skipper Ben Stokes was seen hilariously teasing the pace bowler Josh Tongue for dismissing the tailenders of the India National Cricket Team.
Day 2 of the Test series opener between the India National Cricket Team and the England National Cricket Team is currently underway at Headingley in Leeds on Saturday, June 21.

Tongue delivered a significantly better performance with the ball on Day 2 of the first Test against the visiting team. He made some adjustments to his lines and lengths and ended his spell with four wickets for 86 in 20 overs.
Josh Tongue picked his first wicket by dismissing the star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, and then he removed Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, and Prasidh Krishna to bowl India out for 471 runs.
On the last ball of the 113th over, Josh Tongue bowled a full-length delivery curving back into the leg-stump and Prasidh Krishna went for a drive, but missed, and his stumps were shattered.
As Josh Tongue wrapped up India's tail, Ben Stokes came up with a hilarious "Nom nom nom nom" gesture to tease him for gobbling up Indian tailenders.
"Eating rabbit pie. Getting the Tailenders out. Knocking over the lower order," the England pace-bowling great Stuart Broad wrote on X.com

The star wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant continued his stellar form in Test cricket and smashed a brilliant century against England. He scored 134 runs off 178 balls, with 12 fours and 6 sixes. Former India head coach Ravi Shastri, speaking on Sky Sports, hailed Rishabh Pant and said:
"What do you say about Pant?! I used the word outrageous yesterday and nothing has changed. He plays the numbers game beautifully and plays the way he wants.
"He will block for a bit and then decides he has to go after the bowler and shift gears. He has his own computer and only he knows how it works. That's his USP. That's what puts bowlers under pressure and makes him box office, a real entertainer and a match winner."
Jasprit Bumrah cleans up Zak Crawley in 1st over
England were off to a poor start in their first innings with the bat because Zak Crawley was dismissed for 4 by Jasprit Bumrah in the first over itself.
“Oh my goodness. What a delivery. We have given Bumrah top billing and that, ladies and gentlemen, is exactly why!," Mark Butcher said on Sky Sports.
"India strike early and as usual it's Bumrah with his genius," Dinesh Karthik said.
The England National Cricket Team express pacer Mark Wood also lauded Jasprit Bumrah and labelled him as a really dangerous bowler. He said:
"He is a phenomenal bowler across all formats who is really dangerous. I can honestly say he is really hard to pick up and face. He is quicker than you think and the best bowler in the world right now. He is dangerous in any part of the match and can change the game."
