Before everybody starts saying how terrible we are and drop such and such and bring back whoever, just remember how well the same players played in the previous Test.

It's lords, the toss is the most important decider to winning and losing.

Ballance gone for 23 to Johnson afte playing some elegant shots. 28/2.

[adrenachrome]

Come on Bell. We need you to stay out there for a good while.

[adrenachrome]

Jaysus on a moped. Bell gone. 29/3. Awful shot.

[Monty]

I smell a crushing.

[The Left Side]

Bell goes too

[adrenachrome]

Root gone for 1 to Johnson.
30/4.

[Chris Jameson]

If we could just get to stumps tonight with a couple of wickets in hand we might take this match into the afternoon session tomorrow.

[PaulWinch again]

Well this is pretty dire.

[PaulWinch again]

I'm not entirely convinced by Lyth yet. He seems to play a bit loosely. His early international career is a bit reminiscent of Sam Robson.

[PaulWinch again]

Incidentally I'm not saying Lyth should be dropped or anything, just that he's showing areas of concern. Bell on the other hand should massively be on borrowed time.

[adrenachrome]

50 up! Cook and Stokes both on 12.

[Chris Jameson]

Got them worried now!

[UK Redsox]

Ouch....that's gonna hurt
