Woakes to Gill…..dot ball

Ad infinitum

Stokes not being fit enough to bowl has been a big setback today.

 

[Uttoxfox]

Hopefully there may be a bit of zip first thing this morning. Still a fair few overs before the new ball can be taken though. Big day for both teams. What a great series this has been.

I don't think Trump will be watching the test match today, "Five Days, and it's still a draw!"

Stokes out of Oval Test

Stokes out of Oval Test

Of course he is. And Archer. And Bumrah, I shouldn't wonder. Also the weather forecast looks iffy.

Why, yes, I have got tickets, actually.

 

[DagenhamFox]

Yeah me too for the Sunday.

The forecast looks like I’ll see enough cricket to not get a refund but with plenty of rain on the day.

Still there is time for that to change.

Bowling first.
Weather is a mess.
Injuries galore.
Bore Draw.

We got more yesterday than I was expecting with the extension to 7:30

Great morning for England. Game on.

Great morning for England. Game on.

Baz Ball when needed. Be ahead within the next 20 overs keep going at this rate.

 

[DagenhamFox]

Or not.

 

[Club_B00k_Crutchless]

Or not.

Sums up the whole compelling series. The game can sway so quickly.

 

[borebage53]

Very “fractious” during play today!

 

[DagenhamFox]

It’s been a fantastic series. Two very evenly matched teams. Who knows where it might go from here?

Those dropped catches might come back to haunt us.

 

[DagenhamFox]

That wicket was an arse in the last over. Could be a magical day tomorrow. I imagine India will be favourites to win the match and draw the series.

We need some heroics from Joe Rooooooot.

 

[Popside]

We’re guna have to go some tomorrow to win this , boycott would understandably say take the 2 days but this England team love to entertain and it’s great to watch but , just for this game lads do a Geoff .

 

[Bittfox]

Still the best form of cricket.
This series has been brilliant.

 

[courtslcfc]

I honestly didn't see this coming

 

[LGFOX]

We’re making this v difficult

 

[Bittfox]

Chasing 374 in the last innings of a test match. Never going to be easy.
Brilliant chase
they get over the line tomorrow.

I hope so. They looked like a rabbit in the headlights before the rain fell. And the new ball is only a few overs away.

And Suraj will be rested.

 

[DagenhamFox]

Today summed up the whole series in a day’s play.

 

[Uttoxfox]

Just as you think you know the outcome, a spanner gets launched into the works.

 

[courtslcfc]

All boils down to who gets a better night's sleep.

 

[Club_B00k_Crutchless]

I can hardly watch

 

[shropie_blue]

Why on earth wasn’t Deep right on the rope when Atkinson hit that six in his direction?

 

[DagenhamFox]

An unreal test match and a brilliant series. Those dropped catches cost us big time.

 

[Club_B00k_Crutchless]

Bugger. Fair result in the end I think. Brilliant series, bring on the Aussies
