With Stokes and a fit Woakes this would’ve already been won 

[AKCJ]

Woakes with his whites on. What a bloke.

Very much agreed. 

[StanSP]

This isn't out. Get on with it!

It's a no brainer tbh. I'd be out there even if I'd broken my leg

[RonnieTodger]

Surely the spike is from the ball hitting the floor?

Ground, Bat, ground for me

So easy to see but for some reason they have to watch it numerous times.

It's not rained that much yet

I think it's a bit mad that the umps can review a decision this meticulously without the Indians using a review.

 

Umpires couldn't make a decision so it's not out. Indians think it's out so they have the option to review.

 

This is ridiculous.

[foxfanazer]

No way this is out

[trabuch]

We can all see it you twat. Nerves getting to the 3rd umpire.

[StanSP]

Absolute shit in thus day and age that with powerful floodlights the game can still go off for bad light.

This is ridiculous.

But India haven't reviewed it. It's an umpires decision to check it. Not the other way round. 

[AKCJ]

Indian quicks get a full nights sleep and get to wipe out the tail with the new ball then. Great.

[trabuch]

Even the weather wants to get involved. ****ing brilliant cricket is. And going off for bad light is CLASSIC cricket. Red ball under floodlights is a no no for me.

[RonnieTodger]

This is honestly one of the best test matches I’ve seen. 
 

Game over in both directions today and now it’s on a knife edge. What a sport.

That's what i'm saying.

 

Umpires couldn't make their mind up. The benefit of doubt has to go with the batting side IMO. 

 

If India think they've made a big mistake then they can review.

Leave it AKCJ - it's not worth it!

[leicsmac]

Nervy times. Great sporting theatre.

You make it sound like it's their fault

Tell you it really isn’t. We’d would be playing one day cricket with a red ball if the case

Think we'll be pretty happy to get off the field, we were going absolutely nowhere.

And England (who still have 4 wickets left btw - all be it one of them one handed) get to reset and go again.
