Bancroft gone.

I know thats umpires call so stays as out, but i'd be pretty annoyed to have that given as a batsman.

Get in there Jof. He needs to remember that and bowl like that whenever he faces Bancroft.

Good morning for us now, if we could get another couple before they take us off for the rain it'd be fantastic.

Archer is fucking loving this right now, massive grin on his face every time one passes the bat.

Much better we’re in the game now. Get bloody Smith out, give him nothing loose.

Some more poor decisions from the umpires.  Is it just the DRS making them look worse, or are they just not as focussed these days because they know the review system is there?

Bit of both really. I think they are more prepared to make a decision knowing it can be corrected however I think Umpires are now better than say 30 years ago. They are better trained and officiate a lot more. Having said that I think the only area that has improved is runouts and stumpings by DRS.

That LBW decision earlier was dreadful.  It was one of the most obviously out things I've ever seen.

As they said on sky you could argue that there was a 2nd noise so he might have thought there was a tiny inside edge. I agree it did look a simple one though.
