India making it far too easy for us again today. Might as well get to lunch with a ~320+ lead and have 2 full sessions at them today.

Looking forward to tomorrow although selfishly want us to wrap it up by lunch. F1 at 2 and women's Euros final at 4, could be a cracking day of sport.

Should have declared with that Stokes wicket. Have a few overs before lunch

SkyBlueSoul · Saturday at 12:33 PM

Yeah not sure what the point in this is, should unleash a well rested Archer and Woakes at them before they have much time to gather their thoughts

SkyBlueSoul · Saturday at 12:50 PM

Here we go then!

SkyBlueSoul · Saturday at 12:52 PM

Fucking hell might not even make it to tomorrow

tisza · Saturday at 12:53 PM

Woakes finally turns up

DT-R · Saturday at 12:59 PM

What a start that is from Woakes

Fantastic morning for England, Stokes m.o.m at this rate.

Liquid Gold · Saturday at 1:13 PM

Have they accidentally sent India U11s for this test? All too easy.

Brighton Sky Blue · Saturday at 1:22 PM

India are batting like England

chiefdave · Saturday at 1:40 PM

India have gone into one foot on the plane mode

tisza · Saturday at 3:51 PM

Poor captaincy from Stokes being swayed by Brook on that review. Why are you listening to 2nd slip on a delivery that may or may not behitting leg stump??

SkyBlueSoul · Saturday at 6:36 PM

Had to stop watching around 2 so no idea how much help we’ve given them but that is a monumental effort by India. Didn’t think they’d make tea let alone still only be 2 down.

SkyBlueSoul · Sunday at 11:31 AM

That’s what we needed

CCFCSteve · Sunday at 11:52 AM

The very definition of leadership, body creaking, batters set, very old ball, yet who steps up !

edit - Gill also led from the front

SkyBlueSoul · Sunday at 12:34 PM

Incredible innings so far from Gil, hell of a century

DT-R · Sunday at 12:56 PM

Just what we needed. Be nice if we can push another quick wicket before lunch.

Get in!!

Nearly another straight after too. You’d assume Pant out to bat next before they get into the tail. Unless they send him out last to just try and smash it around

SkyBlueSoul · Sunday at 1:25 PM

Day’s ruined, left my brother in charge of packing the food and just found out he forgot to pack the fig rolls

chiefdave · Sunday at 2:50 PM

What genius at the ECB decided to have finals day of the Women’s Blast the same day as the final of the Women’s Euros.

Probably the same person who decided the finals should be the only games not streamed.

Managed to bowl an 18-ball over and still not actually finish it

Why was he bowling!!!

Only just clocked that Stokes is out of the last test with Bethel coming in. Archer, Carse and Dawson all left out too.

England XI for fifth Test v India: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope (captain), Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jacob Bethell, Jamie Smith (wicketkeeper), Chris Woakes, Gus Atkinson, Jamie Overton, Josh Tongue

England vs India: Ben Stokes ruled out with injury, Ollie Pope to captain

Ollie Pope leads England in place of captain Ben Stokes, who has been ruled out of the fifth Test against India starting at The Oval on Thursday.

Yeah, not ideal. Expected archer to be rested, test’s too close together but was hoping wood would’ve been able to get back for this. Interested to see Bethell though

Bumrah out for them which is a bonus

Terry Gibson's perm · Wednesday at 2:22 PM

Obviously dont see it spinning then, I haven’t seen the wicket but as soon media are getting shitty about it I assume it’s an absolute road and England will bat if they win the toss and just keep batting the time out of the game.

Not sure that attack will take 20 wickets if the pitches are the same as the previous ones

Terry Gibson's perm · Wednesday at 5:17 PM

Woakes is struggling but will get a winter break as I don’t think he will be taken to Australia and if he is barley used.

StrettoBoy · Wednesday at 11:27 PM

I’m happy with the batting lineup but the bowlers don’t excite me.

Sign him up for my Sunday team

tisza · 2025-07-31T13:25:43+0100

so again once the shine is off the new ball we don't look like taking wickets. And again change bowlers undo all the effort of the opening 2 by bowling some very ordinary stuff.

CCFCSteve · 2025-07-31T15:29:30+0100

Some decent balls and some absolutely rancid stuff. Let’s be honest though, I’m not sure some of these are even our second choice attack

Hope we can make the enough of the decent bowling conditions before they improve

Drag Jimmy out of retirement…

Even now he’d walk into this team, as would broady even after two years out. To be fair though we’ve been unlucky with injuries. Archer, wood, stokes, Atkinson just come back, stone, bashir probably others that I’ve forgotten, has meant it’s been a patchwork attack all summer. Just hoping they’re all fit for the ashes ! Pisses me off even more about Oli Robinson, if he applied himself he would be leading the attack today
