Three Lions slowly grind out a score in their first innings.
England will resume its first innings at The Oval on on 247-4, still 245 runs behind Australia in the fifth and final Ashes Test of the summer.
With bad weather likely yo interrupt play on day four the move by England to crawl along at around two runs an over was seen by some pundits as Alastair Cook waving the white flag for the series.
Former captain Michael Vaughn called for more urgency from the home side and suggested they try and push for the win to make it a 4-0 series victory to slam the door shut on their opponents, bearing in mind the return-leg of the Ashes begins in Australia this November.
