I've only just tuned in

Who's this commentating on TMS at the moment ?

I think it's someone called Dan Norcross, I find him a bit irritating.

Blimey, the BBC must be struggling for commentators.

Has Daggers been on yet ?

I like TMS but cannot listen when Charlie is on

EDIT - Bollocks, here he comes

I really hope I don't jinx him here but it's bowling like this which makes me think Mo is well worth persevering with as a front line bowler, he's not got as many wickets as I'd have liked but he's been intelligent, got a key wicket and has done a good job of stifling their scoring at one end.

Brilliant over this, both settled batsmen out in 3 balls and they've not got a massive amount of batting left now if we can get one of this pair quickly we've got a great chance of not letting them bat out their overs.  I think they'll be looking at 260-270 as a good finish now.

We're clawing ourselves back into this game.

[PaulWinch again]

Mo's bowling has improved as the summer's gone on, it's because he's getting overs under his belt. We've fought back really well, we need to finish the job.

[PaulWinch again]

We shouldn't have let them get near 300 really.

No, there was some pretty poor bowling in the last 7-8 overs there.  If you bowl good lengths and get hit to the rope then it's good batting but there were a few full tosses and few that were right in the arc to be smashed, T20 should be teaching players about death bowling but we've just forgotten the lessons there.

Hales has had a shocker of a series.

[PaulWinch again]

I'm glad people are finally taking notice of Taylor. He is a quality player and for me he should be pushing for the number 5 slot in the Test side.

[PaulWinch again]

Roy has also done really well this series, he's actually looked much better than I thought he was.

[PaulWinch again]

Jinxed him there!

No problem with RR here ...it's that wickets column that bothers me.

I was worried about that, this partnership is easing those concerns, if we can get to the 35th over or so we should have the firepower later to make the runs.

Morgan has invented a new shot. The hopping dance drive over the roof.
