Only thing we can hope for in this game now is that Morgan can get some runs, this has been a horrible batting display by the looks of it.

Other than Morgan that was a truly pitiful batting display.

Batting was pathetic(Morgan apart) and it led on from the fielding as well, which was very poor.

He does, conditions obviously suit him but he's bowling beautifully.

Yeah of course, but half way through last summer he seemed to drop to low 80s in terms of speed and that continued in the winter. However now he seems to be back around the mid 80s and it makes a big difference.

Jordan gets Sanga. Good to see Cook keeping two slips up.

I'm surprised that they're playing given the forecast and it's pleasing to see the level of control on display from our bowlers.

This is where we need to be ruthless and knock them over cheaply.

60-6 Jordan has three now. I'm really glad to see him being rewarded with wickets.

The conditions maybe favourable, but England are taking advantage ruthlessly well. Finish 'em off lads.

It's been very ruthless and good to finally see that from Cook I hope he's learning. Jordan and Anderson have been excellent.

Brilliant 67 all out and Jordan gets a well deserved 5fer.

Jordan must be bowling his way into the Test side.
