I very rarely say this, but Jimmy needs to be taken out of the attack

[taylorsworkrate]

Too many easy singles at the moment

[PaulWinch again]

Broad gets Rogers, he's bowled much better than Anderson so far.

[DrGonzo]

To be fair to Jimmy I think he is working to a plan, trying to get the left handers playing across their pads and getting the ball to shape away from them looking for an edge.  Or he might have just lost his line. 

[PaulWinch again]

I think Anderson has looked tired in this match.

[taylorsworkrate]

Good move to get Swann on. He's going to be more difficult to get after than the seamers

[PaulWinch again]

Agreed, also Bresnan is steady but he's unlikely to rip through a side. Odd that Watson isn't in, he's ideal for this scenario.

Ideal LBW candidate?

[taylorsworkrate]

I might even give Root one or two after lunch in tandem with Swann.

It can't be easy for the left handers to try and slog an off spinner out of the rough, and it would be hilarious if Root was to get Warner out

He scores quick and they don't need a century from him here.

Added to that there wouldn't be two left handers for Swann to bowl at

[peter w]

Yeah hopefully Anderson can bowl a lot lot better this innings, I really hope the rain stays away.

I don't. Pee down for the rest of the test please.

[PaulWinch again]

Very negative field from Cook, we should be trying to take wickets.

Again, disagree.With the weather forecast its about slowing them down.

[PaulWinch again]

You slow them down if you take wickets.
