Lovely delivery, far too good for him.  was the perfect length as well, I hope Broad takes note.

Keep it pitched up Broad.

Any advice for Broad PW? ;-)

[PaulWinch again]

If Broad wants a short leg, give him one Cook.

[PaulWinch again]

Khawaja gone! Broad is doing nicely now he's pitching it up. It's moving a lot more this morning.

[paul_e]

Good to see Broad getting some rewards, he's had a couple of spells like this in the series and got nothing for.  Both wickets are good bowling rather than poor batting as well, which is fantastic to see.

[PaulWinch again]

This looks a lot more like a day to bowl. We need Clarke early.

What a silly waste of a review

[PaulWinch again]

Poor review, that was never pitching in line.

[taylorsworkrate]

Australia playing the right way. Not just retreating into a bunker like many of our batsmen did

[taylorsworkrate]

But the LBW comes to the rescue!!!!!!

[taylorsworkrate]

Ok that is an absolute disgrace. He was given out, there is absolutely no logic for him to be not out

[PaulWinch again]

That should be out, shocking shocking.

[PaulWinch again]

He should be out LBW that's not good enough.

[taylorsworkrate]

What the hell are you talking about Holding? He was given out. It shouldn't matter one jot what he was out for, if the technology shows the ball was hitting the stumps, in any way then what evidence is there to overturn it.

There's 2 options here, the umpires are pathetic (highly plausible given their performance so far) or the rules are ridiculous

[taylorsworkrate]

I think there's a strong case for all the umpires in this series to be struck off. At no stage has their performance been acceptable
