How does a cricket chase work?
In cricket, a 'chase' refers to the batting team trying to score a specific number of runs to win, set by the opposing team. England needed 130 runs. Losing two early wickets for just two runs made their chase tricky, but Root and Cox's partnership steadily accumulated the runs needed to win.
