This is turning in to an intriguing match.  Fair play to England for coming back in to the game.  Nothing fancy needed now.  Just need Trott and Prior to sit there for the next session.

Always a tough ask this, can't believe we briefly went favourites with the bookies there. Valiant effort this innings, unfortunately the damage was done earlier in the match.

4 test matches in Asia this winter .... 4 defeats ...... None getting into a 5th day .....

Must be changes to the batting line up now ......

James Hildrith
James Taylor
Alex Hales
Steven Davies (May be good enough to play as a batter alone)
Jamie Vince
Tom Maynard
Jason Roy

Anyone who starts the season well, will have a real chance .....

Thats a fair point but the next winter tour is in India and I am certain we will have 2 and maybe even 3 spinners in our line up.

I am going to that and as much as I want to see India win, I also want to see some decent cricket that goes 5 days!

Mind you though, the top 5 (Strauss, Cook, Trott, KP and Bell) will probably make a hatful at home in the summer, and will stroll out for the first test in India.

340 was never going to be chased down against those spinners!

How many wickets again fell to an England Batsman playing a sweep shot?!?!

Not holding much hope for the 2nd test either, although we'll come home against Windies and South Africa, pile on the runs in home conditions and wallop them which I wouldn't be suprised at!

No real mystery in those spinners.  Bog standard left arm orthodox!

Can that sweep shot.  Strauss and KP out giving bowlers the charge!

If we do get a really dry summer, watching these batsmen play Tahir on a drying pitch might be fun!  Havent got a hope in hell of picking him!
