A round-up of the best the England papers have to offer:

Michael Atherton writes in the Sunday Telegraph that England should stick with Matt Prior

... the harshness of the criticism has been surprising. Prior is in the infancy of his international career and is surely allowed a bad day or two. After seven Test matches he averages over 40 and for the most part this summer his glove-work has been sound. This is surely no time to sharpen the guillotine or to turn back the clock to names already discarded.

While the Observer's Vic Marks feels that despite a likely series defeat to India, England shouldn't go in for wholesale changes

... we could jam our feet on the jugular and call for a few heads. Yet now is not the time for an overhaul. An overhaul has happened anyway. After the 2005 Ashes series Michael Vaughan and Fletcher were bullish that theirs was a young team that could stay together for the rest of the decade; but there are only four survivors.

And in the Sunday Times, Simon Wilde wonders whether Andrew Strauss will lose his place if he fails in the second innings at The Oval.

Since scoring a century, as captain, at Leeds in August last year, Strauss has scored 686 runs in 24 Test innings at an average of 28.6. His biggest innings of 96 came earlier in this series with India at Lord’s, but he was given an easy let-off in the fifties.

Also in the Sunday Times, Dileep Premachandran pays tribute to Anil Kumble who took wicket No. 563 against England to move up to third place in the all-time list.

In the Sunday Telegraph, Steve James identifies a technical fault in Alastair Cook and says that the problem is with his head, not what's going on inside it.
