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

[Spark]

Geez that's a disappointing way to go, he'll feel he's left plenty out there

 

[SkyBlue]

That was bit of a gift

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That's a darn good catch from Joverton

 

[silentstriker]

Big wicket

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Terrible. Did he think we were 350 ahead already? So irresponsible.

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Just the 98 runs later, Jaiswal finally goes

 

[SkyBlue]

Not much is happening but you can sense the tension, I've got a feeling something will happen soon to break the tension.

A wicket before the session ends. Recurring pattern with India in this series

 

[King Kane]

Right on cue Tongue strikes to get Jaiswal out.

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Haven't watched him bowl for a while, but he was fast. Comfortably bowled in the high 80s

All of these guys can be pretty fast as long as they’re not bowled into the ground…

 

[SkyBlue]

I doubt we get a 300 run lead from here

King Kane with the all important breakthrough

I mean it's an absolute ****ing pie, he just executed it poorly

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

England have now given away over 60 sundries

And God knows how many easy runs from **** deliveries…

 

[LangleyburyCCPlayer]

Chance to get them out below 323 now, although India do have Washington to come after this

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

I mean it's an absolute ****ing pie, he just executed it poorly

But that guy on the boundary was right in the eyeline of where he was hitting that as that close-up shot shows. Wasn't quite the stage where he should've been chancing his arm.

Yeah but you can't let the bowler get away with that crap. Obviously he should have executed it better and/or hit it along the ground, but it absolutely needed hitting.

 

[SkyBlue]

It's still advantage England for me, unless we get to 350 somehow

Don't agree with this at all unless you really, really don't have faith in India's attack. Anything around 300 will be very difficult, especially as the bounce looks more inconsistent which makes it more difficult to attack.

 

[Hungry Llama]

This team India bats quite deep. Anything over 250 will be a struggle for england, as we saw in the first innings.

Radio commentary has just said Duckett looks like an angry spoilt child just denied his third Ferrari by daddy.
