Tell him to get the bus. Some things are more important than family  :)

Buttler gone for 70, good knock though. Pankaj gets another!

Not too upset to be honest. With the forecast tomorrow, we need to be bowling pretty soon today.

Wow..... that's got to hurt.

Stuart Broad just top edged the ball into his face. It went through the grill and hit him in the nose.

Blood dripping

Umpire Erasmus then had to wipe the blood from the ball. I thought that these days, blood on the ball would mean that it would have to be changed.

Broad being injured is a real blow.

We're not going anywhere here, we should be going out to bowl now.

Woakes really needs to start taking wickets.

Woakes bowls nicely, but there's just something missing for him as a bowler at International level for me. I hope he proves me wrong, but he just seems to lack threat.

Our change bowlers really need to start stepping up as a threat, as at the minute we're too reliant on Anderson and Broad. Ali has done really well, but the seamers haven't offered enough. I guess that's why it's really important we get Finn back at his best.
