Jaiswal is punishing this.

Needed that wicket and could do with another before the close.

Really quite poor in the field by England today. It could cost them but we now have another wicket. 70 for 2.

Right call not to bowl spinners. We are going to have to come out and be right on it tomorrow or it’ll slip away fast. I think it’ll flatten out, it normally does at the Oval, but I wouldn’t want to chase more than 250.

I do find the handling of Bethell odd this summer. He clearly wasn’t likely to play any of the games, until the injury came up. He’s a young player and I feel like across this time he should have been playing some cricket.

I will say the best thing from an England perspective about this game, it’s proven and underlined that Gus Atkinson has it.
