    Freddy Elletson: The Oval, 2018. Watching Captain Cook make a century in his last test innings. The standing ovation felt like it lasted an hour. Goosebumps.

    Best ever in ground experience - Broad 8 for 15 at Trent Bridge against Australia 6 August 2015, mainly for overhearing an Australian fan on the phone to his mate who was late arriving - "No mate, just drop your bag and get down here now before it's too late."

    I was at the Oval for KP's 158 in the 2005 Ashes, and for Pakistan's refusal to come back out to play in 2006; and at Lord's for Broad and Trott v Pakistan in 2010. But CWC 2019 final can't be beaten.

    Most memorable cricket moment - Ian Bell's 65 not out at Edgbaston in 2015, Mitchell Johnson couldn't get the crowd out of his head - what an atmosphere.

    Chris Drohan: Watching at The Oval while listening to TMS - all very spread out and a good game. Lovely sun as well!

  11. And here is the moment fans returned to cricket grounds in England for the first time since the coronavirus shutdown...

  12. Cheers Callum. Another thoroughly enjoyable session of Test cricket that.

    The only thing missing was that clamour of the crowd as Stuart Broad got on one of those Stuart Broad spells.

    Hopefully crowds will be back as soon as possible when it is safe to do so.

    Things are moving in the right direction with 1,000 spectators allowed in to The Oval today for a friendly between Surrey and Middlesex.

    Smallmanpeaky: Not sure Sibley should be opening the batting here. He's one paced and England need to give themselves more than a day to get 10 wickets. Root has already shown a willingness to change the order as the game requires. Stokes or Root should be opening with Burns.

  14. England will be disappointed with how they bowled in the first hour and that they weren't able to enforce the follow on but all in all, largely thanks to the brilliance of Stuart Broad, that has been England's morning again.

    They are in complete control of this Test and just need to get their tactics right around the horrendous weather forecast tomorrow.

    To see if they take the game forward this afternoon will be Jack Skelton. Cya later.

    England are in a very strong position but are very wary of tomorrow's apocalyptic forecast, when heavy rain could wash out the entire day.

  16. Lunch

    Eng 10-0

    Oh! Dom Sibley is squared up by the final ball of Shannon Gabriel's over but he plays with soft hands and it goes down and away to the third-man fence.

    A good solid morning for England. They lead by 182 going into lunch on day three.

  17. Eng 6-0

    Dom Sibley is off the dreaded pair with a flick through square for four.

    The England balcony applauds.

  18. Phil Tufnell
    Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special

    I always used to hate it when they got another over in before lunch. You have to wait another five minutes to eat!

  19. Eng 2-0

    A maiden from Kemar Roach and we're going to sneak one more over in before lunch.

    Jamie Smith: Is facing Stuart Broad shortly after he's been dropped the modern equivalent of bowling to Gordon Greenidge when he's limping?
