AS Stokes said. 'We don't care about personal milestones. No one was going to win the match. We should've shook hands and got off the pitch.'

England ran out of steam and ideas on a pitch that realistically they were never going to take 10 wickets.

Got a ticket for Friday at the oval

I think we will see a very different bowling attack at the Oval, a lot of tired and hurting bodies out there today.

I am a great fan of Stokes and his ability to play cricket and to, on his own, win games but think he was wrong to make a fuss, showed himself and English cricket, up yesterday

Stokes out of the 5th test.....

Who will be captain in his place?

Gonna miss his wicket-taking ability.

Ollie Pope

Pope wins the toss and England will bowl. A no-brainer given the conditions.

India have lost their last 15 tosses - the odds against that happening are 32,767 to 1.

 

[Hoop-Leif]

India 72-2.

Absolutely cacking it down.

Bowlers too inconsistent this morning - 12 wides!

Yep but 10 of those wides were from only 2 deliveries by Tongue.... Apart from Atkinson pace attack looks rather pedestrian.....

 

[Stroller]

That's handy. Gill's run himself out. About the only way we'd get him.

 

[jeffranger]

Madness no run there but well done Atkinson

 

[sb_73]

4th down. Wicket looks very green.

 

[Hoop-Leif]

5 down.

 

[Stroller]

England wrap up the Indian innings in quick time this morning - 224 all out including 38 extras. More wayward stuff from Tongue, but when he gets it right he's dangerous. Excellent 5fer for Atkinson, who must have bowled himself into the Ashes squad.

 

[Stroller]

Bazball's back. England 51-0 off 7.

 

[Trammers]

Have Crawley & Duckett got to be somewhere else this afternoon? 65/0 from 9 overs...
