Averaged about 86mph, so definitely down on what he was at Lord’s, but economical still

Pant advised 6 weeks rest, BCCI exploring the possibility of painkillers to enable him to bat but admit it’s unlikely, meanwhile Ishan Kishan has been added to the squad according to the Indian Express

From what I saw yesterday, both Archer and Carse definitely didn't get the lengths right. Woakes didn't bowl well in his first few overs but was good after that. Dawson bowled as I thought he would, with intelligence and control. No finger spinner is going to rag the ball square, and I'm not convinced he puts too many revs on the ball, but is smart enough to at least make a batsman think in these conditions.

Indian Express carrying the article now:
Rishabh Pant advised six weeks rest because of fractured toe
Ishan Kishan to be added to the squad ahead of the fifth Test at the Oval; medical team checking if Pant can bat after taking a pain-killer if need be but BCCI source tells chances are slim.

Which would be utterly stupid. Sometimes unlucky **** like this happens, but don't make it worse.
Slightly surprised they've added another keeper batsman for one Test, is KL unable to keep if really needed?
Opening and keeping would be a big ask.

As Stefan says, opening and keeping is a big ask, I guess they aren’t keen on Jurel as a keeper if they’re picking someone else

If Pant does play, the tactic is obvious, just spam yorkers at him like I did when I was 10 lol

Or they've had that much bad luck they thought they better call up a backup to Jurel in-case he injures himself too!
Sucks for Pant and for the rest of the series, love watching him bat, game needs entertainers like him.
It was within the rules.Anyway he has been advised to rest for 6 weeks.

Very good start from Archer. Outside edge of Jadeja, beats the inside edge of Thakur and then takes the outside edge. Unlucky not to pick a wicket up

pretty crazy that pant can't bat like
surely he can come out at eleven and just block it or bash it
