Same here mate, I got up and couldn't believe it! Yes this is back to the England we expect, although still dropping some catches.

Fair play to the Indian crowd, unlike the Aussies they've stayed to watch when their team's getting hammered.

\watching the highlights Bell's run out almost perfectly underlines my defense of him yesterday, he's easily the best fielder we have, and very possibly the best in the world, for that reason his place is safe as can be.

I got in the car to drive up to Bradford about 7.30, switched on TMS and heard them mention Patel fielding, so I'm thinking the Indian openers are in, nearly crashed when they said were six down.

That got a bit dicey for a second, but overall brilliant display.

Again, lots of credit to Bell there, he came in under a lot of pressure there and did exactly the right thing.

Shocking decision for Cook, but Trott, Bell and Compton have let us down. We're in big big trouble here.

Bell's form this year has been a real concern.

We could do with Root and KP putting on a triple century partnership.
