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.

Agreed the last half hour/45 mins has given us a chance. A good run rate for the next 2 sessions and we are in with a good shout.

A very slim chance given the weather forecast and Anderson's injury.

Having a test starting in May is ridiculous, having it Cardiff just compounds the folly.

Agreed too early and also they shouldn't go back to Cardiff again. It just doesn't offer anything.

Trott out for 203.

Let's see if England open the bat up a bit now (once Bell reaches his ton) and puts a bit of a lead on.

They should never ever go back to Cardiff again. More players on the pitch than spectators in the stand, absolute shambles. Terrible ground.
