There's enough in this pitch, India have been pretty lucky so far

That corrugated patch will continue to cause problems

By:
Agreed but feel the need to cover the draw

Cracking over from Archer.
|
|
By:
Archer is in Jaiswal’s nut. This is a brilliant innings from young Jaiswal. He needs to survive 3 more overs from Archer best done from the non strikers end.
England gave no luck except in winning the toss and they have given it away AGAIN. |

India 78/0 at lunch.
England 2.96 India 2.62 Draw 3.55 |
|
By:
Can this be a draw? Will the pitch break?
|
|
By:
Finally the Indian luck runs out
|
|
By:
Loose shot from Rahul. There is a little extra bounce every now and then.
Next guy is a hood player but looks a little vulnerable on leg stump. I would imagine Archer comes back immediately |
|
By:
eng deserved that and more lets hope foe a flurry now
|
|
By:
bowling well carse
|
|
By:
Couple of left handers in takes the green strip outside the rh off stump out of the game for a while. Groundsman done a good job with that one.

Jaiswal so good that one ton and two fifties in seven innings this series feels a little like slim-pickings on his part...
|
|
By:
Seems more movement off it at the end Woakes is bowling from now.
England have bowled well tbf without much luck. India have coped will so far. How a good Test wicket should be. |
|
By:
Spin given a try.
|
|
By:
These 2 teams are well matched and it is providing a tight contest. As said already Jaiswal batting well within himself.
|

By:
Dawson should have been playing regularly for the last 8 years tbh
|

By:
Wicket!

where is day 1 rain?tell me elisjohn

By:
Bonus wicket for England but they have not had any luck today.
Just prior to that I was going to say England would be in the field for a long time time and that may have ramifications for The Oval. Sudharsan looks quietly confident and I think England still have a lot to do. India need to see off Archer but he is not looking threatening right now |
|
By:
i think england have generally bowled too short
|
|
By:
Does Stokes really need that long a run up?

Terrible miss by Gill!
Still this session has been soporific. Come in Pant. Light this place up! |
|
By:
Shocking giving you wicket up like that, got the line all wrong. Stokes trying everything.
Good comeback. |
|
By:
Tea.
England 2.3 India 3.1 Draw 3.95 |
|
By:
149/3
England will be pleased with that. India will not get to 250 by tea unless Pant gives it a go. |
|
By:
looks like its getting darker

By:
Reverse sweeping Archer OMG

Excellent stuff from India at the moment. Putting miles on the clock.
Would like to see something more positive before the new ball but these two games will be attritional. Really difficult to know where we are but I am happy being on India right now with runs on the board and a possibly dry pitch. |
|
By:
Me too. Pant can do some damage this evening.
|
|
By:
Looks bad, possible fracture.
|
|
By:
Just getting set too.
Poor Pant, looks in a lot of pain. |
|
By:
Better than a wicket..
|
|
By:
Batsman down for both innings perhaps.
A significant blow you could say. |
