As much as I like him......moeen was brainless

[OzVilla]

Poor shot from Buttler too to add to the list. They've all had starts and just squandered it for themselves.

Watching the Aussies against the Saffers, brilliant hundred from Kawajha earlier.

[PaulWinch again]

I'm glad Rashid is proving me wrong, he's bowling great.

[PaulWinch again]

Pretty disastrous session that.

This is still a good surface to bat on. Odd one keeping low but it's flat as a pancake.

Stokes finished with 5 for 73. 134 lead for India.

[PaulWinch again]

The batsman need to do a proper job now. We're massively in a hole here.

[adrenachrome]

Madness from Moeen who joins Cook in the pavilion.

Just realised that this was a comment from the first innings but its relevant again

[PaulWinch again]

I don't know what it is with Moeen, he just plays the most stupid shots sometimes. We're done here short of a miracle.

[Dave Cooper please]

Root opening so I assume Hameed is injured? What's he done?

Suspected broken finger

Root opening so I assume Hameed is injured? What's he done?

Aggers and Vaughan on TMS said that the England management had been very cagey about Hameed. They said he'd been in the nets but were saying nothing about a possible injury. Suggests it is an injury though.

[UK Redsox]

Aggers apparently blaming the Radio 4 Daily Service people for the last wicket because they didn't say a prayer for England

[PaulWinch again]

First Test is looking like the anomaly here then. We've reverted to the top order failing in every innings.
