Nick shares his reflections on playing with Cook and what made him a joy to bat with, as well as how the decision to retire has helped the left-hander reinvigorate himself for one more big effort.
Bob says Joe Root is now batting as well as he has all summer - and explains how he and Cook safely negotiated tricky conditions to extend England's lead to 154.
But the home side didn't have things all their own way as India's last four wickets cut England's first-innings cushion to just 40 runs, with Ravindra Jadeja making the headlines for his 86no.
Bob remains at a loss to explain why Jadeja hasn't played before in the series and explains why he believes Virat Kohli's captaincy leaves a lot to be desired.
The panel also analyse comments made by head selector Ed Smith - including the suggestion that Keaton Jennings will indeed be touring Sri Lanka this winter.
Don't miss Bob's thoughts on that!
