With all the doom and gloom that's been posted on here about the performance, who would have thought we're on the cusp of having a first innings lead on a flat track against the best test team on the world , who will have to bat last

Don't think I said that or even suggested it, did I? Just find Vaughan's fawning frustrating.

But you can’t argue that it was one of the most unorthodox field placings in the history of test cricket though, and it might, just might, have been enough to have messed with Khawaja’s head, leading to his dismissal.

 

[Gareth Barry Conlon]

Those 14 runs on day 1 after we declared looking very significant at this point.

 

[Claytop]

Cummins has the potential to do damage.

I'm not denying that it might have been effective. I'm just becoming increasingly frustrated listening to Vaughan declare everything that 'this new England' do as revolutionary and genial. As Jim Maxwell said, why wait 10 hours‽

Not any more

Pundit's corner

With the weather around need Crawley and duckett to play sensibly. Fair play to England we have done really well to get back into this

More the Bairstow squandered chances I’d say.

They should have been 147/5.

Great last 30 minutes for England.

Last 4 wickets for 14 runs
