Ali stikes!! Great catch from Cook, well done Moeen for tossing it up.

Good bowling change from Cook as it led to a wicket. Although I hope Stokes isn't injured.

Huge wicket

Looking inevitable we'll go 1 down now. Yet again horrific bowling at the tail.

Yes i'm starting to agree lead just shy of 300 now and no real sign of us splitting these two, and with 'Nesh Kumar' to bowl at us i think they probably have enough already but they will continue
to chase runs and increase this considerable advantage.....

319 to get....that is gonna be tough.

Time for the skipper to shine with the bat!!

[taylorsworkrate]

Too many I think.

Especially considering we're going to be 10 for 1 or thereabouts.

Looks like Robson is trying to protect Cook from the new ball here.

The knock from Jadeja today is what I see Buttler providing for England. Add someone likes Hales up the top to score from the new ball and we'd be able to try to get on top of teams.

Have a feeling this could be as good as over by the end of today, with us 6 or 7 down

Only got ourselves to blame for that.  Our bowling at the tail enders was terrible in both innings and we blew the chance to get a decent lead when we were batting.  Saying that, if we can finish tonight needing 160 with five or six wickets in hand you never know!

Ballance nicks off, bollocks.

[PaulWinch again]

Cook and Bell owe us, so this is their chance.

[PaulWinch again]

Bell fails again, and I think the game is slipping now. It was low but he played inside the line.

[Colhint]

That was bloody unfortunate
