Meaningless runs for Jennings on an absolute road in a dead rubber, prolonging his career? Nobody wants that except his mum. And now we get to watch Moeen (for a bit)
Back to the "review" process. I think the time allowed for a review should be dramatically cut - down to maybe 5 secs. Whole point of RDS is to eliminate bad decisions or howlers. If a batman's knows he's hit it & given out LBW then he knows straightaway & will review. Kholi just now took an eternity to decide (I would have thought it was close to 15 secs if not over). If you are having to take that long to decide then its not an error by the umpire imo.
I don't mind a batsman grinding out an innings, but usually to save a match or when a team is 80/4 & you need to steady the ship. At the moment they look like they are swimming in treacle & no attacking shots at all.

bore fest.
Disagree. This is proper Test cricket.. Bowlers making batsmen work very hard for their runs. Batsmen toughing it out. Set a platform to allow the likes of Buttler, Stokes Bairstow to play their shots tomorrow.

This thread is making people say some really silly things.

I agree England need to play "proper" Test cricket, but this has been pretty tortuous. It's not as if Moeen has been in control, playing solid defensive shots or pushing singles. He's basically been lucky to still be out there.
Cook finally bowled. India deserved more wickets today

you wanted Jennings out ???
The ground is in London ffs. There must be close to 10 m people in London & the S/E suburbs. Its not like St Kitts or Barbados.
numpty.
He's still there which is the main thing but, going forward, it is still a concern for a no. 3 batsman at Test level.
