    That's a clutching-at-straws review in my book.

    Ooft!

    Ishant Sharma's first delivery rises and strikes Alastair Cook on the pads. I think this is too high for lbw, and so does the umpire but Kohli, at the last second, decides to send it upstairs...

  3. Postpublished at 16:07 British Summer Time 7 September 2018

    Hmm. Mohammed Shami, who troubled Moeen so much, is still off the field. He's up in the dressing room, having a drink and a chat with one of the coaching staff.

    Here's Ishant Sharma.

  4. Eng 128-1published at 60 overs

    Moeen 27, Cook 67

    A quick single brings about England's first post-tea run, Alastair Cook shoving his bat over the line as Ravi Jadeja pings in a throw from point.

    Moeen has his traditional play and miss at the seam bowler, before Bumrah strays onto his pads and he's clipped handsomely away for four. Lovely.

  5. Eng 123-1published at 59.1 overs

    Jasprit Bumrah gets proceedings going after tea, and Alastair Cook lets the first ball go safely past his off stump.

    Cheers, Jack. They're just showing footage of Moeen playing and missing during that afternoon session. How he managed to get through, I don't know.

    Anyway. He's on 23, Alastair Cook is on 66, and they're on their way out to the middle.

    Virat Kohli is holding a huddle on the edge of the boundary at The Oval.

    Alastair Cook and Moeen Ali are waiting in the wings.

    That's my cue to hand you back over to Amy Lofthouse...

  8. How Cook became an England greatpublished at 15:59 British Summer Time 7 September 2018

    Remember that Ashes series in 2010-11?

    It felt like Alastair Cook was never going to get out, scoring 766 runs in five Tests as England won in Australia for the first time in 24 years.

    Tom Fordyce has taken a look at that series, and the winter that defined Cook the batsman.

    Sipech: By my estimation, Cook needs another 58 runs in this match to ensure he finishes with an average in excess of 45.00. Would be nice if he could carry his bat...

    Matt Keech: Whisper it, but Cook is 81 runs away from being the 5th highest Test run scorer of all time.

    Rolling Stones singer and England cricket fan Mick Jagger is donating to charity Chance to Shine during the fifth Test at The Oval.

    He's pledging £20,000 for a century or 5-for and £10,000 for a 50 or 3 wickets.

    That's one fifty on the board so far thanks to Alastair Cook.

    Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    Ben Stokes has assessed the situation and adapted his approach better than any other England batsman in this series.

    That's why I would move him to number three. He's played with a straight bat and can change gear. If he's got a dodgy knee and not bowl then he might as well bat there.

  13. Postpublished at 15:46 British Summer Time 7 September 2018

    I'm struggling to recall the last time England went through a full session without losing a wicket while I was live texting.

    Maybe it was the fourth Ashes Test last year - Alastair Cook was batting then too of course and ended up with a double century.

    He's unbeaten on 66 at tea on the first day of his final Test. What can he make here?

    Moeen Ali has just about survived for his 23 not out. He's probably played and missed as many times as he's got runs. Can he settle down and kick on in the evening session?

    We had 31 overs and 55 runs scored in that session. That's a run rate of 1.77.

  15. Tea - England 123-1published at 15:43 British Summer Time 7 September 2018

    Ooh. Alastair Cook sees off the first five balls of the over easily enough but inside-edges the last onto his pads.

    The ball deflects away for a single though and that's tea.

    This should be the last over before tea - Ishant Sharma to bowl to Alastair Cook...

  19. Eng 122-1published at 58 overs

    Cook 65, Moeen 23

    Ravindra Jadeja is trying to tempt Alastair Cook into flicking at the ball down leg, instead of leaving or smothering it. Cook does lose his balance as he flicks at one and the ball just about evades the edge.

    Cook shrugs it off and clips the next away for a single.

  20. Eng 121-1published at 57 overs

    Moeen Ali gets bat on ball to defend against Ishant Sharma, also ducking under a bouncer.

    That's a maiden to start the spell for Ishant.
