The view from the top of that double decker stand is fabulous and dominated by greenery.

Pope gone LBW to Lyon, good review for them but I think it was pretty unlucky, in real time it looked like it pitched outside leg.

Nasser and Athers gushing about Edgbaston.

The camera shot they showed from up high looking out towards Cannon Hill Park made it look as though they were in the middle of the countryside rather than on the edge of Balsall Heath.

Cannon Hill Park is lovely, planted a load of trees in it 30 years ago.

Bad time to lose Crawley. Need a big one from Root.

Crawley gone with what turns out to be the last ball before lunch. It was the sort of shot that will do nothing to convince people who don't rate him that he's good enough at the end of a innings that his fans will say shows he deserves his place.

124-3
Root 20*

I reckon it's been pretty even so far, england scoring at a good rate and all the batters getting a start but not quite kicking on. Still plenty of batting to come with Brook, Stokes, Bairstow and Ali.

Hopefully Paul, need to not be adding 2 wickets to that score.

Stokes gone cheaply on a good batting track. England need to put a good partnership together.

Decent recovery by Root and Bairstow after a bit of a wobble after lunch.

What do we think is a decent score here? The pitch looks ok by the ball is keeping low at times which makes cross bat shots dangerous.

I think 350 is competitive and 400+ would be a big advantage.
