It will have to rain for a long time for there to be much of a chance for this Test to follow the others in the series and make it to a fifth day.

I think there is a storm forecasted for Monday... but this may not go to Monday... Has been a good series with plenty of short stories, twists and turns. Far better than the Vaughan prediction of a 4-0 whitewash
Watching England bowling short and the Indian tail dispatch it to all corners of The Oval makes for truly depressing viewing.
It's brainless

Atherton suggesting that Joe Root will not be considered a top player is he does not get a century in Australia during the winter series.
I think Atherton talks sense but this was ridiculous.

It’s pretty much the only remaining criticism anyone can find with his record so is trotted out endlessly. I hope he does it this winter just to stop people going on about it.

almost feel that Eng may just pull this off… root, Brook, Smith.. chugging along nicely…. Rain in the afternoon, Storm tomorrow …: Have to see what spin does, otherwise a flat wicket with nothing in it …
Eng nicely chipping away… focus on next 50 and the next 50 … and so on

I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but 101 now required with Brook and Root both very well set.
Oh eck, Brook gone…

This screams of woakes coming out to bat one-handed for the win.
Been out all afternoon, sneaking a peak at the cricket when I could. Finally got home, TV on, Bethell having a 100% Bazball brain fade. Muppetry

If brains were taxable Bethell would qualify for a rebate.

This just got very interesting. Root wafted at that like a wally.

I think the light has done England a real favour tonight. Think the batsmen were paralysed!
Still not confident for tomorrow
Fear and nerves in a dressing room spreads so easily. The rain definitely saved England. Hopefully they get out there tomorrow and knock off the rest. India may well win but there will be a total reset for tomorrow and that helps EnglandI think the light has done England a real favour tonight. Think the batsmen were paralysed!

Shame the weather intervened at that point. Was really absorbing.
Think England will win it easily today.

Quite overcast but no rain till 1300... I assume it will be all done and dusted by then. Fab series.. 2-2 is a fair result, but Eng will take 3-1
