Big trouble for England here. It’s a very long tail.

It is but this pair are both good and Jof is well capable of a little slogged 20-30. Tomorrow morning is a massive session though.

Ignore that, I thought the day had finished with us 5 down, I checked it just after 7 and assumed it was stumps.

Botham is a stunning hypocrite isn’t he?

I think what he means is I could get completely pissed and have the odd punch up and still get to bed by midnight

[TheTimVilla]

He meant that he didn't get caught!

[Villan For Life]

Botham should be thankful that he played in an era when there was no mobile phones or social media.

[PaulWinch again]

Good effort from Fisher and Baker. Big deficit still, but not as big as it might have been.

[PaulWinch again]

Baker comes across as very likeable.

[paul_e]

Yep, as I said before the test started, he's the young bowler I'd like to see us commit to going forward, he's got loads of ability, a superb attitude and comes across as a great lad. I reckon he can get a yard quicker with work and be the 90-95mph quick we've struggled to find (or at least struggled to keep fit).

Bloody Nicholls getting a ton, he could barely hold a bat last summer as OS at New Road.

[PaulWinch again]

This is one of those games now where it’s just a case of when England lose.

[dcdavecollett]

England appear to have no Plan B which might help them restrict the flow of runs when the wickets aren't falling.

[olaftab]

Joe Root a great great batsman but is and has always been a poor captain. Has been exposed in both innings.

[Steve67]

Botham should be thankful that he played in an era when there was no mobile phones or social media.

Worth bearing in mind that Botham was suspended for a three month period for smoking cannabis.  Complete hypocrite.
