    3 balls later and leaving them all he’s out lbw.

    Overton does play at one, but is given out by the onfield umpire. He reviews, but he's out for a duck. 215-7 at tea.

    Huge contrast to the morning as India take 6 wickets in the session.

    Atkinson gone for 11, England 235-8, a lead of just 11.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Rain stops play with England 242-8, a lead of just 18 with the last wicket pair in.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    247 all out, a lead of just 23 on first innings.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Brook puts down a chance at second slip. It was high and to his left, not an easy chance, but one that really needed to be taken.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Tongue gets Rahul as Root takes the catch, 46-1, a lead of 23.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    A shocker by Dawson, drops a catch in the deep, pretty much straight at him.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    And another dropped catch, it went quickly to Crawley at 3rd slip, but he really shoulda taken it.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Atkinson does make a breakthrough, and India waste a review challenging the lbw decision. 70-2.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    And that's the end of play, bad light bringing things to a close a bit early as Pope declines the option to bowl spin. 75-2.

    Crawley puts down another catch at 3rd slip, 4 drops so far this innings and they could easily end up costing us the Test.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Finally England make a breakthrough, as Overton has the nightwatchman caught by Atkinson, 177-3.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    189-3 at lunch.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    The break does the trick, Atkinson has Gill lbw with the very first ball after lunch, and the Indian skipper wastes a review as well. 189-4.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Another catch goes down, this time by Brook again at second slip, not helped by Crawley diving across him. Catches win matches, so it will be no surprise if we lose this one with 5 dropped catches in this innings alone.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    This latest drop hasn't proved too costly, as Smith manages to hang on to one behind the stumps, Atkinson with the wicket. 229-5.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Yet another chance goes begging, a tough one admittedly, but Duckett puts it down at leg slip.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Jaiswal finally goes for 118, so 98 added after he was first dropped. Tongue with the wicket, caught by Overton on the boundary. India are 273-6, a lead of 250.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    304-6 at tea.

    It’s already beyond the highest ever test chase at the Oval and getting worse.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Another wicket and India lose the last of their reviews as Overton gets the lbw decision. India are 323-7, a lead of 300.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    357-8, Tongue with the wicket. The lead is 334.

    A second wicket in the over, 357-9 as Siraj is given lbw with no reviews left.

    Edit: snicko suggests he got the slightest of edges, but he had no reviews available to save him.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    We are giving them 6’s for fun now, 3 in about 5 balls. Lead now 353
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    Could be chasing 400 at the rate Washington is going
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    396 all out, England need 374 to win.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Crawley goes in the last over, what would have been the penultimate ball. 50-1.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    A big ask for us today, it's possible, but the odds are surely with India as things stand atm.
  • thornburyironthornburyiron
    We’ve got two days so try to stay in should be the order of the day. A couple of singles per over would do the job.
