Former England seamers Dominic Cork and Bob Willis joined host Charles Colvile to discuss the home side's woes with the blade, including Jonny Bairstow's third duck in four innings.
Is England's wicketkeeper-batsman right for the No 5 spot - and were our pundits surprised he took the gloves back from Jos Buttler for this Test?
Alastair Cook was also up for discussion after scoring 71 in the first innings of his final Test - but, having announced his retirement, should he have played at The Oval, or should a young opener have been given a gig?
Bob, Dom and Charles also discuss India's dangerous pace attack and how the tourists look stronger with spinner Ravindra Jadeja in their XI, while Virat Kohli's captaincy; India wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant; and Moeen Ali's elevation to No 3 for England are also on the agenda.
