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.

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

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??

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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
