Thakur is now 43 from 27 ballsā¦5 4s and 2 sixes
and then Bairstow spills the easiest of chances off of Thankurās glove
Massive 6 to bring his 50 (53) up from 31 balls, fastest test cricket 50 at the Oval beating Beefy Bothamās back in 1986 by 1 ball
Thakur gone LBW for 57, Woakesā 3rd wicket.
Then Yadav swings the bat wildly, gets a top edge that Overton can only palm, but it falls to Burns who shies at the stumps and gets Bumrah run outā¦
Umesh gone for 10 now, swings at one which he only edges to Bairstow
181 all out.
5-1, no wait, 6-2 in reply
Burns plays on to his stumps, then Hameed wafts at a high ball and snicks a thin edge to the keeper.
Root in, Bumrah with his dander upā¦
Oh
Root gone, clean bowled for 21
52-3
Stumps 53-3
Hmmm the phrase "watching paint dry " springs to mind
At least watching paint dry will last longer than an England Innings
114-5 Overton and Malan fell early this morning without adding much to the score.
Thank God Iām going tomorrow, rather than Sunday.
Likewise.
Sat in Auschwitz car park, clear run at TMS on YouTube for the afternoon session.
Perfect
Bairstow given out LBW, he reviewed straight away, clearly no batā¦
Plumb LBW, all 4 red lights, 151-6, trail by 40
Classic Bairstow. Gets in, settles, gets to 30ish and then out.
Still unhappy with something even now.
It was a good plan
But the TMS feed isnāt there today.
Time for a snooze then
England move into the lead with Pope and Moeen at the crease
Moeen skies one and is out 223 -7 lead by 32
Utterly bonkers shot
