Yeah, great to see Broad sticking around for a bit too. Itās been a while since heās done this.
304 for 8 at lunch
That was good stuff at the end.
Iām guessing as was doing the airport run. Now then Jimmy pitch the ball up and turn them overā¦
Blinding start here. Broad takes Dhawan for 3. He eventually tries to go for the review but had left it too late.
Looked plumb to me anyhow, angling back in from around the wicketā¦
Ooh, would have been Umpireās call on impact but hitting bang in the middle.

Wicket-maiden to start from Broad, with the wicket on his first ball. Would love to see a proper Broad rampage. His innings with the bat suggests he might be in the zone.
India 6-1.

All a bit flat since. India batting sensibly
Yup, Rahul particularly is doing well after taking some time to read the conditions.
Both sides seem to have found credible top orders right at the death of the series.
Breakthrough! Curran gets one to straighten and it clips the top of Rahulās off stump.
70-2.
Got him, piss off, youāre out.
Kholi gone for 49
154-5

I reckon that wicket makes it Englandās day.
Would be nice to expose Pantās middle stump though.
Here we go, Stokes on a hot streak. Pantās down.

And that is why I donāt gamble.
How wrong was that?
Seriously civilised day (apart from shitty Wi-Fi / 4G in the posh parts of the otherwise excellent Oval). Definitely on top after the excellent morning session and then great breakthroufh bowling at important times.

This is getting irritating. 281-9 and the are hanging in there.
Smashing bit of work from Jadeja there. Heās a bit unlucky that Bumrah wasnāt sharper with his running.
