Genuinely didn't see it coming! I thought if there's any way we'd win the match it's be because his partners would be out...

.

If, and it's still a big IF, we win this, I expect the celebration police will be out in force at India fans. As if retaining the trophy and saving a series means nothing...

Superb ton again. Can't believe he's on 39 hundreds. He'll surpass 51 but perhaps not the runs record? Either way, what a player in this era. Mesmerising in this format.

I thought Jurel had missed it!

Woah. Root is gone.

Height again. Another poor review.

Siraj getting closer inch by inch One of them is bound to be plum eventually!

Siraj could still have the last say, in an alternative way to Lords...

Yep.

If it wasn't Smith in, I'd think we have a chance. But it is, so we don't...

And that's why it was never in doubt...

A review out of pure desperation, that. Root likes to move forward to remove Impact out of the game. Should be seeing that clearly before reviewing.

What's the main tactic Cifuentes is employing? How have we played, out of 10 so far?

You're finishing this off with ease. If you lose it, it's not Brook's fault.

He's just got a ton, he can bat how he wants

There's a wicket, but I don't think it changes the outcome. Damage already done. Phenomenal ton from Broom given the circumstances and state of the game. Attacking pays off.

That Siraj drop proving ever more costly. Pathetic from us really. Mentality isn't there in these situations. Had England under pressure when these two came in. Let them ease into their batting and they flourished. Something Gambhir, and to a lesser extent Gill, have to sort out sharpish.

How pessimistic are you now?! Only 116 left to win. Barring a major collapse (very unlikely) you're seeing this out with ease. Not even a sniff of a wicket for ages.

Mate tell me where that one wicket is coming from. Bethell and Smith are more than capable of seeing the game out even if these two do get out, because of the runs achieved so far. Indeed. Jadeja needs to come in just to stem the flow of runs for now and give the seamers a break.

I have the same feeling I did for the Headingley test! We don't look like taking a wicket and the bowlers are tiring.

England are winning this. Only 168 left to win. All Brook and Root need to do is do it in little chunks. They look so comfortable.

Brook very lucky this innings. England have all the luck

Look at how the game and momentum has shifted though...

Times like this is why I worry we could lose
