I fail to see the logic of not enforcing the follow on and they meandering along at 2.5 runs an over. We need quick runs to enable us to declare around tea with a decent lead leaving 4 sessions to bowl them out.

I agree, it made complete sense to not enforce the follow on but we need to up the run rate a lot now. Time is of the essence.

Getting a move on now, this is much better.

Ballance given out again when DRS would have saved him

[PaulWinch again]

They're motoring now, Ballance is batting brilliantly.

[PaulWinch again]

Jinxed him there, but he did his job.

[PaulWinch again]

Ballance given out incorrectly twice in this match. But we're in an excellent position now, get another 80-100 runs quick and have them in before tea.

Ballance on the end of yet another howler!

I expect we will see Butler come in at 5.

[Gareth]

Starting to see why the Indian team don't like DRS, they back their batsmen to get the requisite runs but like the assistance of poor umpiring decisions in order to get 20 wickets

[Dr Butler]

I expect we will see Butler come in at 5.

no you won't........I'm at work until 6..

Love it...

[PaulWinch again]

Buttler should be coming in next.

[UK Redsox]

Is Cook batting to win the game or to improve his own stats ?

[UK Redsox]

England showing a complete lack of flexibility with their batting lineup.
