KP gone after looking very very scratchy. Everyone will be stunned to hear that it was the SLA that got him.

Just tonked his first ball for what he thought was six and turned out to be straight to mid off. Absolute twat.

That Bell dismissal was the stupidest thing I have see since Lineker tried to chip that pen against brazil in 91 or 92 when he had the chance to equal sir bobby charlton's goal scoring record.

Come on Samit.  Good player of spin.  Maybe a spot to high but worth his place for his ability to play spin alone.

I'll probably regret saying this but already looks calm, composed and not as frantic and belter skelter as what has gone before .....

Cuntgargling useless braindead idiots.

80/6 on a 400 pitch. Useless.

Feel free to add more expletives, it'd need a Tuckeresque burst of creativity to come close to providing a fair assessment.

Umpires having nearly as bad game as the batsmen, Hill's turned down some of the plumbest lbw you'll see in both innings and Dar's just given Patel for one that wouldn't have hit a fourth stump.

To say we've batted pretty shit would be an understatement. We struggle against spin and it does the job on these pitches.

Why oh why are we not playing Monty? Yes I know he can't catch but if that's the argument why have him in the squad at all.

Seamers virtually redundant and we're playing three of them.

Samit/prior/bresnan/broad at least showing some fight.  As the ball has got older it has got easier but the damage done by the brain dead top order could well be terminal.

Mike Atherton in reference to Bells shot said .. After that he can take as much paternity leave as he wants'

Not convinced that Broad dismissal was hitting the stumps. Think Dar just got fed up with an appeal every ball.

Ironically he seems to think the next ball was going down. What the fuck?!

ICC should enforce DRS worldwide. Ridiculous teams can pick and choose.

They've learnt by necessity! Didn't think Prior had to go for such a big (difficult) shot when he got out because Swann is an able cricketer. If it was Panesar at the other end I'd understand but you can't knock Prior or Cook, at least 2 of the top 7 showed the application required.

Cook to make 150+ here now! Captain's innings required
