It's a bit of a concern that Broad is still off the field.

As I said earlier - england didn't necessarily bat as badly as it seems, this pitch looks a dream for the bowlers.

Absolute pearler from jimmy though.

Spot on Paul e - bowlers dream conditions.
Just hope bad light doesn't come into play.

See I'm not sure it is at all, the batsmen have just played some shocking shots, Bell, Clarke, Root aside.

There have been 3 great balls to get wickets today. The rest were batsmen getting themselves out.

Because the ball has moved and swung.

It has moved, but it has been poor batting as well.

yeah pwa, I agree the shots have looked poor, butt when you have 9-10 test standard batsmen playing what look to be very poor shots in a day you have to consider how much the pitch and conditions are the cause.  I said earlier I think Prior, Trott and Cook played poor shots but root, KP and Bell were beaten by the bowling/pitch.  I haven't seen the last 4 wickets or the 2 finn wickets but Clarke was another where the bowling and conditions just did him completely.

I think the truth is somewhere between the two, the conditions have favoured the bowlers but the batsmen have, to a large part, failed to get their heads down and apply themselves.

Yeah I'd probably agree.
