Good stuff Jimmy - Kohli is an important scalp

[Villan For Life]

Important wicket just before tea, 210-5.

For a part time spinner Mo Ali now has 11 wickets in 5 tests.

[fredm]

He has done ok for a part time spinner, the problem is this team really needs a top line one - to stop up one end while the quicks operate at the other/on a helpful wicket to get the opposition out.

[PaulWinch again]

Moeen is doing a very good job, he's consistently picking up important wickets. People are very harsh on him, and if he gets bowled more he'll get results.

[PaulWinch again]

Given that he hasn't bowled many overs for England really to have 12 wickets is very impressive.

[Villan For Life]

He looks at home in the test side. If he could eradicate his silly dismissals which seem to be a concentration issue then he will become an important player for us.

[Villan For Life]

New ball in 8 overs and 149 still needed to avoid the follow on.

Agreed.

No offence Paul but haven't you called for every player to be dropped at some stage over the summer!

[PaulWinch again]

Ha ha maybe I've been hasty on some, but I've always backed Moeen!

[PaulWinch again]

Jadeja dropped, but a really really tough chance.

[PaulWinch again]

Keep the length full for Jadeja.

[PaulWinch again]

Jimmy strikes, Jadeja gone. Now knock over the tail quickly please.

[taylorsworkrate]

Have bowled ok today, but I fear this disease we have of bowling pathetically at the tail is about to rear it's head once more

[taylorsworkrate]

It seems to be a moot point whether we'll enforce the follow on or not. The way we bowl to the lower order, it'll be a surprise if we have a lead more than 100
