Three wickets in 30 minutes play this morning is not improving my mood.

This stems from coasting for too long yesterday. It's something we frequently do, we just let the game drift. We scored 3 runs in 7 overs yesterday and now we're massively behind the game.

This has been a really important knock from Broad, wood and Jimmy.

We've got to be careful here.  A lot of time left in the game and the ball is disappearing to all parts at the moment.  We could well find ourselves in a tough position very quickly if this continues.

Surely the Mooen at 8 and main spinner experiment has got to end now - either play him as a proper batsman and occasional bowler or look for a specialist spinner

It's the speed of scoring that does it.

Certainly does and there is more of it to come later in the summer.

Hope the weather holds, just booked a ticket for tomorrow for £15.00, a good day of cricket should help forget about the events of Saturday.
