Hope Broad hangs around long enough for Foakes to get his fifty.

Poor effort. But appalling pitch.

Only one shot back over the bowlers head in the england innings. Pant hit that shot several times. England batsmen just dont get to the pitch of the ball.

Yeah all this moaning about the pitch. We batted like shit and our spinners aren't very good.

Too many england batsmen just stand in the crease and prod at a turning ball.

I think Burns and Lawrence are unlikely to play the next game, barring a dramatic improvement in the second innings.

Third umpire bullshit again. That’s never playing a shot.

It's fucking cheating and the authorities should step in.  That and the stumping yesterday, bot clearly out.

The game is gone, but we need to try and dig out some momentum for the third Test. The batsmen need to dig in and make it hard for them in the second innings.

On other thing - England have to have Foakes in the team. He’s far and away the best keeper and he’s a fine batsman.
