Great morning for us, looking very strong.

[cheltenhamlion]

Decent morning. Bat once, bat long and get them back in.

[Colhint]

mr Bell is in

[Villan For Life]

Strauss was out off a no-ball. I've never seen a slow bowler bowl as many no-balls as Mishra.

Bell is looking in fantastic touch. I'd like to see him get a ton. No Bears batsman has scored a test century whilst playing for England at Edgbaston.

Bell gone, Cook's 100 was very gritty well done.

[Tony Boucher]

Good to see a Villa shirt hanging-up in the England changing room - Belly's I'm guessing!

[PaulWinch again]

Good quick 50 from KP.

[PaulWinch again]

Diabolical fielding by India, Morgan given two lives. Great from England though.

[cdbearsfan]

The only way we won't win is if it pisses down or if Cook looks like getting a ridiculous score (400+) and we just carry on batting.

[The Left Side]

Well done England keep it up tomorrow

Strauss was out off a no-ball. I've never seen a slow bowler bowl as many no-balls as Mishra.

Aye.

I really hope it's just nervousness/ bad technique.

Ridiculous for a slow bowler.

[TheTimVilla]

On twitter, Vaughan reckons we'll get 700 and Warne says 800+!

[ADVILLAFAN]

I have a good feeling about this test series 

[UK Redsox]

A question for anyone actually at the ground.

Is this as dull as its sounding on the radio ?

[PaulWinch again]

I'd say it's very much in a holding pattern.
