Yeh, they don't like Finn with the new ball do they. I don't think Woakes is test class ... hoping to jinx him into taking a 5-for :-)

Pretty surprised to see Woakes in test cricket. Anyway.. to cheer us all up I think at the end of the game this is going to look like a decent score. This last wkt partnership has made me feel more positive

Yep, love it when Broad looks like this. Great fun to watch.
Think it is all going to rest on how cheaply we can get Amla and AB out.

Can anyone at all remind me at what point Moeen Ali was deemed good enough to be an international batsman?
to be fair he got a great ball first up he's not an opening batsman we know, but balances the team nicely as a containing spinner and number 8 until or unless we have a spinner to succeed Swann, he's the best we've got to fulfill the dual role he does |

going to have to bowl well now to stay in it
pitch has got much easier.
think there is talk of batting AB at 5-6 below Faf du Plessis. that has to be a mistake.

http://www.abdevilliersfan.com/wordpress/not sure of the validity of this site, but still! Says here he averages 58.26, and has performed better with the bat whilst keeping in both tests and odi's. Faf in horrendous form recently, you'd love to get a go at him with a new-ish ball. Amla had a bad run in the entire tour of India, so is another you'd want to get at early. couple of quick wickets with the new ball and it's game on, their confidence with the bat will be shaky.

he just nicked the one earlier too. spike on hotspot wouldn't have been overturned if the umpire had given it would have been a pig of a decsion for the TMO if england had referred it |

Broad ready has grown into a world class bowler. AB is the huge wicket now |
