India in search of test victory at The Oval produced yet another disastrous performance in batting and bundled out for 148, 4 runs short of their first innings total at Manchester. MS Dhoni scored a fighting 82 and rest of the batsmen scored 59 runs combined apart from 7 extras. In reply England were batting on 62 without losing any wickets when the stumps are drawn. Here are few excerpts from the tweeps:
India still opposing UDRS:
#SlvsPak – DRS being used without Hotspot & Rt Snicko. #EngvsInd – DRS not being used but Hotspot & Rt Snicko available to rub it in.

Batsmen couldn’t bat well, bowlers can’t bowl well, fielders can’t take catches:

Finally Michael Vaughn in favour of an Indian:
A day when stats don’t tell a true story… @msdhoni 82 is worth at least 150 …… Brilliancy innings from the skipper.. #EngvInd
