[Dr Jacoby]

Harsh on both - Giles got 100 test wickets and it's only Bess' third game at this level.

.....at an average of 40.

This match is headed for a draw

 

[meeesh]

Patience, my friend, patience. The spinners are doing a decent job here, getting some half chances and keeping the seamers fresh for the last session where the wickets tend to fall.

Not now,can't get 5 in last session here,surely

Possibly not, though the game now will rest on any movement of the ball in the final session. One wicket can lead to two and then England are back in front but the two in at the moment are experienced so it's a tough ask. Also if Anderson is struggling I think we might as well shake hands if nothing happens in the first hour.

Denly has been really good today, giving the batsmen something to think about. C'mon England, players round the bat time? Love all that.
