I don't have a problem with any sporting event clashing with any golf tournament!

Excellent. Two very quick wickets this morning (Broad now has 351 wickets), now need 283 to win.

Should be an interesting run chase.

Good start but Cook gone.  Caught behind edging a ball just outside off stump.  It is a problem area for him especially against left arm bowlers bowling over the wicket.  Far from me to tell a player who has scored the amount of runs he has how to play, but it seems he starts on leg stump and moves across.  Surely he would be better starting a little further across and getting himself outside the line of off stump.  I can see him having real problems this series against their left armers.

Looks like a feeble attempt in progress

Can't blame the pitch, it stills seems really flat.

Or the quality of the bowling, which has been poor

Even at the very low level of cricket I played, I'd expect a bollocking for getting out with a shot like that

What is Hales playing at? It's not a one day match! Ffs show some patience, see off the new ball. There's nearly 2 days to get 280 odd. Just no need to flash at a wide ball at this early stage of the innings.

Root was lucky there. Why can't they leave these wide balls?? Simple, wait for the bad ball, there's nearly 2 days to go!! Poor shot making - Woakes is the only sensible one.
