bit of a gift of a wicket for anderson in the first over of the day

a poor delivery, short and wide that should have been clattered for 4 gets hit straight at gully
Sky said it went to backward point, and dwelled a bit on the use of 4 slips instead of gully as a plan that worked.

Poor bowling this morning, apart from Woakes the others have looked less than threatening.

Surprised me that they've all been average in these two sessions. Jimmy created chances but nothing else from the others. If the seam attack has more days like this I'd want to see Ball or Mark Wood given a go.

Dreadful session - rubbish blowing, slopping fielding and dropped catches. Pakistan are on target for 120+ first innings lead with the bookies atm.

Be interesting to see what happens if/when Pakistan try to increase the scoring rate

Great effort by the West Indies yesterday in securing a draw against india and only losing 2 wickets in a full final day's play

Hopefully they can build on it

Shocking, could do with a shake up, Pakistan's attack looks much better, ours is useless.

Amazing how after one bad day James Anderson and Stuart Broad go from being World number 1 and 2 to useless and how Chris Woakes goes from saviour to rubbish. Well not in my opinion of course but in DS land.

England are bowling poorly yes but stop talking as if this is a constant thing, it isn't.

Broad has been deteriorating for some time, and BTW isn't Ashwin ranked No1 ?

he is now. Broad and Anderson and 3 and 2. Statistically the best bowling partnership in world cricket, so not useless. Just don't go OTT with your criticism. One bad day does not make them bad bowlers

Excellent 100 for Azhar Ali and a bit of luck for my fantasy team as I meant to transfer him out but forgot to do it

2nd Official warning for Jimmy for running on the wicket. One more and he's off

Not the best advert for keeping your cool. No benefit to be gained by arguing with the umpire

Glad to see that I'm not the only one sick and tired of Darren having a go at people for daring to have a different opinion to him

Any more of this and I will consider reporting him for his behaviour

Ok then you carry on talking out of your arse Oscar

You think Anderson and Broad are useless you are entitled to that opinion, I don't think you will find many cricket fans agreeing with you.

Nice little interview with Ian Ward at the end there. Looks like he has worked on his flaws and come back a better batsmen for it. Some lovely shots today

What do you mean by 'average' I suspect that you mean poor. Why not say poor ?

England did not taken many wickets but apart from the usual suspect, the economy rates were OK
