  • I wasn't expecting the Indian pace attack, (on its own a strange phrase), to be as inept as England often are against tailenders, nor for Broad to approach his innings as a batsman, rather than being content with a breezy 17.
    Looking to be a defendable total.
    Cue Broad holing out for 38!

  • Ben Stokes. What a bloke.

  • I read that peak-Botham was unplayable because he himself did not know what he was going to bowl as he ran up. On song Stokes has the same unpredictability.

  • Absolutely cracking day at the Oval.

    Buttler goes from strength to strength - his stand with Broady in the morning session was very enjoyable. Seeing him marmalise one off Bumrah was hugely enjoyable (especially as I had him to score a six!)

  • Yeah today looked to be about as good a day of Test cricket as you could hope to see, without a result.

    Jealous of you being there!

  • And Jadeja brings India within 50.
    Another attack failing to deal with a tail.
    Are you not allowed to bowl leg stump yorkers at 9,10,11?

  • Last innings for Chef coming up. Sad times.

  • Bumrah hardly faced a ball.

  • Glad to say I'll be there for Cookie's hoorah, with any luck he gets three figures

  • Got tomorrow off work for a delivery. If it turns up before lunch I might head down.

  • Hope Cook gets a bowl at India.

  • To 'buy' the final test-winning wicket?

  • Ton up. Well batted AC!

  • Get in Cookie!

  • how much you get back @tenderloin ?
    happy for AC. great way to bow out.

  • That must be unique, a ton in your final Test reached with a '5'!

  • Go on son!

  • £20 @ 8-1

  • Joe Root conversion alert!

  • England 310-2, rattling along at more than 4 an over.
    It's like the glory days of Cook, Strauss, Trott, Pietersen, Bell, Collingwood, Prior ........

  • ...Giles (His Majesty)

  • Please keep on batting England. I fancy dropping in tomorrow to see it wrapped up, but would like a good day's worth.

  • ^ Should have gone today really. Fool.

  • Well some have suggested, not necessarily in the same sentence, that both Bairstow, and (post-Bristol) Stokes could be openers. Here's a sort of live experiment.
