Brook knows what to do against this bowling. Attack it and the runs will flow. Risky, but it's probably what you need to take the pressure off the players later.

Oh Siraj. That is embarrassing at this level. You have to know where your feet are if fielding on the boundary.

Siraj is proper fired up. Brilliant bowling but I expect him to take a break soon!

You're not wrong

Pope so reluctant to appeal. If Root has encouraged that that's quite poor from him I'd say.

You'd want it to be Root.

Root, Brook, Smith still to bat. Not over yet!

That's one hell of a pacy attack, especially the first 3 that can make the ball do extraordinary things. Shastri made a good point. Sometimes he's not in to take wickets but just to bring an element of control to an innings if possible. Slow things down. It's been a bonus that Sundar has been able to take wickets as a secondary spinner.

Cricinfo seem to think the game will be done and dusted today, even with a chance of rain and more time to play with tomorrow. 8 wickets on a batting friendly pitch is still a difficult task.

Bowlers are absolutely flogged! It's an incredible stat considering the current series score. Think on average it's the most England have ever bowled in a series too.

Not particularly. Do you expect Woakes to play in a sling?

Can't work out what would be an insurmountable target. Record chase is 260+. Think I'll be 'comfortable' with a 300+ lead...

Unexpected tally of runs from Akash. Wonder what the highest nightwatchman score is against England.

It's Sky's new-ish channel on red button to watch EFL games, predominantly the midweek games.

Said on the train here to some England fans that they'd be in bat within the hour. They laughed it off

Horrible omissions of Andy King here.

Weird day. Lots of wickets, and at times never looked like hitting 200. But here we are Probably still England's day given the amount of wickets, but I expect to see our bowlers early on tomorrow...

Even he doesn't know what he's bowling Deep definitely will based on how he bowled at Lords.

Ah man that looks bad for Woakes.

Apologies didn't realise all those terrible wides were his

Low scoring game in the offing...

Is he?!

ITV got some good choices of games there.

He did slip a bit

Terrible waste of a wicket
