May as well start talking about the oval. I think Tongue, Atkinson and Cook in for England.

Should’ve picked Jack Leach.

We don't produce turning wickets, not that Leach spins it anyway. Don't think he would make a difference. Dawson can bat way better than Bashir & Leach too.

Yeah worth saying that and for all the criticism of our bowling attack, the 'best bowler of all time' went for 100.

Washington Sundar?

[leicsmac]

24 wickets and around 1400 runs in 5 days would probably result in questions about the pitch if it were elsewhere. 

 

So it goes, still ahead in the series, carry the batting form onto the Oval. 

[StanSP]

Would never in a million years had envisaged this being the score with one hour to go. Thought it would have been done and dusted much earlier. 

[Lcfc-1992]

Lead of 100 enough for a declaration? 

[goody2028]

Handshake time soon then. 

[CL Fox]

All the talk of a young Indian side and England being disappointed is a massive compliment to England to be honest.

 

Largely because England are younger and India are ranked number 1. 🤣

[CL Fox]

This is shite and pathetic. If you want a hundred at least try and hit a few.

[Tommy Fresh]

Class if neither of these reach their hundreds now 

[Lcfc-1992]

Annoying the one test it feels like we’ve been on top we can’t get over the line. Expected more from a day 5 pitch.

Why is it shite and pathetic

 

They're nearing their 100s. Why lose their wicket in a silly fashion and miss that opportunity? There's no set way to get to the 100!

[Muzzy_no7]

Fair play to the fans present managing to get enjoyment out of this

A hundred against Harry Brook. Congrats.

Ah yes because Brook has bowled all the time. 

 

Fvcking hell there's some sour grapes in here.

And yet India can’t win the series 🤷‍♂️

But you didn't get over the line in 2? You lost. This is a draw where you can't win the series and your fans are celebrating like you've won the series.

[StanSP]

Didn't expect to see so many toys out the pram because India chose to bat with batters in their 80s or because a draw was on the cards. 

 

England would do the exact same thing ffs. Most teams would.

Yeah I misread it, soz.

Celebrating not losing. Maybe they should all go home miserable like some on here. Celebration police out in force...

‘F’ing hell washy get on with it’ 

 

Brilliant 

[Muzzy_no7]

‘Just hit a boundary’ 😂

[EastAnglianFox]

Behave now, if this was Stokes and Root closing in on a ton they would 100% still be out there.

 

If there’s overs left in the day they have every right to play on to reach a special milestone

 

 

[Noahfence]

fair play to anyone who’s still watching this  there’s only so much of short balls from Carse and block shots a man can take. 
 

Wish this series was going to a decider
