To say Burns and Broad were the two places I thought were up for grabs they've both played superbly. Fair fucks to them.

Well done, Burns.

His style of batting reminds me a bit of Ashwell Prince.

Edgbaston is renowned for it's atmosphere. It should be bouncing tomorrow.

Good position for England. Get through tomorrow's first hour and we'll be good for a 150 lead you would hope.

Can we get to 400, maybe even 425? Just a pity we let them off the hook yesterday afternoon. We could (repeat for the hard of hearing, COULD) have been in a great position now. And yes; I understand that it may have panned out totally differently to the way it actually has. Batting longer yesterday evening, the possibility would have been there to lose a couple of wickets, putting us under greater pressure this morning. All hypothetical, and we'll never know. A big well done to Burns on his century. And to Stokes as well for sticking around with him.

Incredible effort by Burns to bat all day. Tremendous fitness and concentration levels.

England played great today Burns had some look ball passed his bat 30 odd times just another 120 at least and we in the game.
