This is a pretty poor test match, can't see a result. The pitch is poor and the ground is poor.

I just think Cardiff is a really underwhelming venue.

Its as simple as that.

Well played Cook, remarkable having 17 centuries at 26.

Cook must be a shoe in to finish his career as Englands highest ever run scorer.

Shame Anderson can't bowl second time around.  We'd have a real chance of winning this match.

They've up the run rate quite a lot, if the weather holds you never know.

Well he'll have to score more than 10,000 as KP reckons he's going to.

No, me neither.

Both Cook & Trott looking very comfortable, starting to up the runrate.

The pitch is just starting to take spin, on the last day Swann could rip through them with back up from Pietersen, it's a long shot but we have a chance.
