5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

[Nintendo]

Sounds like England have thrown away a strong position? 3 dropped catches and a missed run out in that mini session + ducketts stupid shot to give India and opening.

Why did they pick Jamie Overton to play a Test match

 

[halba]

might be a drawn series which is fair considering these two teams are fairly evenly matched.

Engs attack isnt good enough.

Young Shiv is gonna make at least 269 in this innings.

Did Pant get him out in the nets

Everyone does.

Wardy making excuses "Dawson was looking straight inro the sun", the sun has barely appeared in London all day, he wasn't even wearing sunglasses.

I think he lost it more in the crowd if anything.

What if he meant that he was looking at his son who was in the stands watching his dad play?

Must say, India players do not look very confident without pant

Just realised we have Mohammad, Krishna and Pope in the same game. Just missing Dan Christian.

Nah.. missing some Abraham, Christian is covered by Pope.

Or an ODI….its stuff like this when BazBall truly annoys us. It’s up there with the declaration.

Most of Duckett’s runs were off stupid shots, but I think the poor fielding in the evening session is going to cost them the game. They need to bowl India out before the lack of bowling depth really starts to bite, and Tongue and Atkinson really showed up last night, it’s the best England have bowled all series. Fielders let them down.

 

[GIMH]

We’ll chase anything up to 400 so we’re well on top

Erm, why is Bethell into the attack?

Erm, why is Bethell into the attack?

I guess they're worried about Tongue and Atkinson's workloads? Doesn't bode well though.
