Pitch is so unpredictable. This is turning into a great test match. Can easily go either way. We must make 300 plus in my opinion. It's about time Strauss got a decent knock. Brilliant bowling from Broad yesterday. Easily the man of the match thus far. I think we've bowled pretty well it was the batting that let us down on day 1.

Trott and Swann's injuries are a bit of a worry though, supposedly Trott will bat but you wonder if he'll be up to his usual standard and we need every run we can get now.
Just shows that the low scoring Test Matches can be every bit as good, if not better.

Strauss fails again. Swann's injury i'm not sure about as the pitch isn't really turning. The quick bowlers seem to be the ones making the headlines.

Don't look now, but this is all going rather well. Lead up to 140 now.

If we can bat for the rest of the day and most of tomorrow we will have a healthy lead. Then it's just a case of bowling India out. Simple this cricket lark!

Bell run out walking off for Tea. Absolute farce.
It's just not Cricket.

Fully agree. What they did is against the spirit of the game. |

Bell on Sky saying Asad Rauf had called over, in which case it 100% wasn't out anyway.
I suspect this might run and run.

The fielder thought it was four. Bell didn't actually attempt to go for a fourth run, and the Indians know it
And Bell has come back out....

They've withdrawn the appeal over tea, Bell back.
Terrific stuff, but they might have announced it before the Indian team had to walk out to an incredibly hostile reception.
He'll probably be out first ball now.

Agreed. The Indian fielders thought it might have gone for four, by his reaction by picking the ball up and the lacklustre throw back to the stumps. |

No, Fair Play India if they didn't hear over called (if it was) then they were within their rights to act as they did in the moment and have also acted correctly on thinking about it, even to their considerable possible detriment in the context of the match
