144-0. This is suspicious.

India's bowling has taken the day off.

As Boycott would repetitivley say "you can't tell till both sides have batted"
 
At the close 225 for 2, i could be wrong but a very likely draw.
 
....or England bat all day today, and then skittle India out ala 3rd test.

Me an my mates have tickets to the 4th day at the Oval, so a draw in this test would leave India something to play for at the Oval...could get spicey.

Anything is possible but i lean towards a draw as sunday will contain some rain,time wasted is never good for cricket.
 
This morning england have chosen to consolidate and not lose a wicket, i'm starting to miss the lemming like Bazball this is comparitively turgid.

Actually I'm rather enjoying it. Not that it's something to yearn for in every game but it's pragmatic and the steady accumulation of runs is a nice change of approach from batsmen trying to play a prolonged T20 innings every time.
Of course I'll probably be shouting at them to get on with it later.

Personal taste, are you off for an exciting game of bingo later? Bazball is never about pragmatism,it is smash the ball like captain caveman.

Wouldn't enjoy it all the time but the literal change of pace is a nice diversion.
That being said now Brook is out they can go back to smashing it.

Having Carse and Dawson in the tail is a bit more reassuring.
 
Scores are now level with England having six wickets left.

Bumrah will be dangerous with the new ball whenever they decide to take it.

That may be the explanation for playing attritional cricket. ...and the reason for a prolonged bowl with spin at each end.

Thought we'd see some Bazball once we got past 400 🥱

At that time the lead was only 42,perhaps for safety a 100 lead would ignite bazball.
