    Alternatively, a tricky hour or so of a gloomy evening on a day 2 pitch in conditions that continue to offer a lot to the bowlers. They're in trouble.

    I have to disagree.. noone is getting many runs in those conditions. It was moving around corners! The reason we'll lose if we do is the Woakes injury

    Really? How do you see it that negatively?

    It’s doing allsorts today. If (and it’s a big If) we bowl well, we could have them four down before close here. Though it has brightened up - good for getting game time, not so good for getting movement of the ball.

    I'm starting to think our bowling attack is a bit rubbish and the Indian Batsmen might have the edge. Hope I'm wrong 2-2.

    Vast difference in how these two openers have started.

    It's like Chris Gayle batting with Geoffery Boycott.

    It was poorly selected but Atkinson took a magnificent 5 fer in the first innings and Tongue is bowling like a man possessed right now. We do need Overton to turn up though with Woakes being injured

    Awww Crawley now too. 3 drops already.

    I swear there are 2 Englands in the field. The one that catches everything and the one that drops everything!

    Three drops, all should have been taken.

    Bowling isn’t the problem tonight. The bowlers have created the chances. But if you have to effectively take fourteen or fifteen wickets as a bowler to get the opposition out when the opposition will need only nine, you have an issue.

    He'll have been disappointed to have not scored the runs he should have this series. His last chance!

    Oval crowd booing but Pope has ruled with head not heart.

    We don’t have a proper front line spinner. It’s seam friendly, and we are a bowler short.

    Get off, get them rested, come back tomorrow. There’s three days left. Right decision.

    At least one short of how many wickets we should have had but I still think we are slight favourites.

    Lol. The opposition is allowed to play well too. India were outstanding with the ball once they got Duckett out.

    I'm disappointed but believe, in Atkinson we have a proper all rounder.

    Hopefully that's the end for Dawson.
