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

[King Kane]

It's looking like another good contest today, Siraj bowling well again and Duckett responding with another fifty.

Really not sure what to make of this chase. These two - certainly Duckett - are lucky to still be out there. But they are and the deficit is under 300. You feel like something's gonna break soon, especially with Krishna on.

 

[GIMH]

Ah ****

 

[Spark]

Excellent length

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Go on, Prasidh. Never doubted ya.

 

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

That's been on the cards all morning.

 

[King Kane]

Duckett gone, big wicket.

England need Root to come to the rescue again.

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Catching the ball is cheating

 

[Shri]

good ball but bring back mukesh

 

[Ju7]

India needed a wicket to show for their excellent bowling this morning especially by Siraj.

 

[trundler]

That felt inevitable. Too much to do for the middle order while being a player short.

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Prasidh's speed gun edging 90 mph but he never looks like he's hurrying batsmen.

The middle order is the strongest part of England's batting line up.

As a general rule, big chases are basically only ever successful if there's basically nothing happening; the bowlers being constantly interested so far this morning is very bearish for chasing prospects

 

[King Kane]

Not only is Rahul a safe pair of hands with the bat he is a safe pair of hands in the slips, I haven't seen him drop too many, if any.

 

[halba]

Rise- the Krishna express. OM lol

Hes been good this test. just need a few more poles.

Cant see england getting 288 runs, this deck is tricky and India have all their bowlers.

 

[Spark]

Looks legside-ish

 

[Spikey]

oooooooo

probably can't review it

 

[morgieb]

Honestly think that might've gotten some of leg stump. Not sure it's enough to overturn though.
