  1. 'Krishna and Siraj both found their rhythm'

    It's just whether India can deliver the skill that they did last night.

    Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj both found their rhythm. Everything clicked and they didn't bowl a bad ball for six or seven overs.

    Can India recreate that? That's why the break last night was so important for England.

    I’ve been sitting here ‘working’ and refreshing the page waiting for this to start. Heart rate is high already. Better make another cup of tea.

  4. Who does fifth-day finale favour?

    'We're in for a classic' - Vaughan looks ahead to enthralling series finale

    Who this restart favours is up for debate. Only the rain denied us a finale last night.

    Joe Root tried to big up England's side. The hosts have had use of the heavy roller this morning. That would usually flatten a pitch and deaden early movement whereas the ball was swinging and seamer last night.

    India's bowlers have had a night's rest though. They will come back and give it all again.

    The new ball is also available in 3.4 overs. That may be more threatening but it also could leak runs. India do not have many to play with.

    "A lot of things are in our favour," Root said.

    "We have so much ability left in the dressing room and clearly they have had a good passage of play but Monday could be a real good opportunity to get across the line."

  5. The good news is it is currently dry at The Oval.

    Play will restart at 11:00 BST. England need 35 runs to win the Test and the series. India need four wickets to draw the series.

    After everything we've had this summer, don't rule out the tie. There have only been two of those in Test history.

  6. Sleep well?

    I think I know the answer. I'm never dreamt so much about Jamie Overton...
