We don't seem to be bowling with the same intensity since the bad light.

Just got home to watch this. Seem like plenty of empty seats. They should stop hosting tests at provincial grounds.

[Dave Cooper please]

We don't seem to be bowling with the same intensity since the bad light.

Until Jimmy's last six balls.

That ball to get Shanaka almost feels like cheating, how the hell is a lower order debutant supposed to do anything else with that, absolute peach.

Until Jimmy's last six balls.

Yep, I very nearly followed that line with "we should get Jimmy and Broad back on" but then Stokes bowled a couple of nicer ones and I backed off.

[Dave Cooper please]

Bloody hell, Jimmy has just become unplayable!

[paul_e]

The movement in the air is doing the damage.  I'm glad they've got Broad on as well, I think this could be all over in a couple of overs if Broad bowls like he did earlier.

[paul_e]

Superb catch from Finn.

If we can mop this up cheap I'd force the follow on, the conditions suit us perfectly right now.

[The Left Side]

91 for 9, they might not make the follow on

[The Left Side]

91 all out, nice work lads

[PGW]

Can't knock that 5-16 for Jimmy & 4-21 for Broad, couple tonight would be nice.

[The Left Side]

Yes it would PGW

[PaulWinch again]

Lovely bowling display.

[paul_e]

the worst thing is I think 91 flatters them a little, I reckon you could find 7-8 more that missed an edge by a fraction of an inch.  2-3 good overs each from jimmy and broad and I suspect we'll make a dent in this innings tongiht as well.

You have to say, the batting might be fragile but this bowling attack must be the best currently playing in Test cricket.
