    That is sad. It was such good news they managed to haul him back from the precipice of death...but I'm not sure I'd want to come back if significant paralysis was my 'upside'.

    Bit like Michael Schumacher I guess.

    Alive but his quality of life is very limited .

    Particularly when you considering what they were professionally.

    Root's captaincy ruthlessly exposed over the review just now.

    Couldn't make his own mind up, begging someone else to make the decision, did the review too late and cost England a wicket.

    Gosh that's grim.
    Poor bloke, only 51.
    Is it true a white ball doesn't swing asks Mr IBB who heard Alistair Cook say it on 5L?

    Well, I would have to bow to greater expertise here but it seems to be generally accepted that the three coilours - red, pink and white - have different degrees of swing and seam movement. Although no one seems to know why...

    Brilliant comeback performance. Utterly wiped the floor with them this morning. Get past Kohli and they are pretty weak (normally). Ollie Robinson is living up to his 'English McGrath' hype.

    Broad is going to have a hard job getting back into this side.

    Yes Ollie R looks like he's got talent but more importantly is made of the right stuff. Like Stokes. Got some cojones.

    I'd certainly have him over Jofra for now. Consistent and challenging. The fragile Aussies won't like him at all.

    England on top again thanks to a very decent bowling attack. Ollie Robinson continues to look like the real deal.

    He's just scored the fastest-ever test match 50 at the Oval. Fair play to him.

    We've dropped way too many catches today. Although just turned a drop into a run out.

    Out without facing a delivery. You don't see that very often!

    All out now. Great to see Woakes back, he's an excellent bowler.

    I don't think Hameed is up to it. Never looks to score. Just survives until he gets out. That 60 was very very very lucky but at least he started with some intent. He's withdrawn into his shell since. A 2021 Tavare.

    EDIT - just out to a terrible shot.
