i know this isn't a glamour series for SKY but wondering if this is the start of the changing of the guard in their test commentary team with the likes of Key and Cork involved

very good spell by stokes this morning getting the ball to reverse and he clears up the tail
bangladesh all out for 248, said yesterday i thought 293 was a pretty decent score on this pitch and in a good position now with bangladesh having to bat last |

really good bowling from Stokes that, possibly the difference in this match. He has this Bothamesque/Flintoff habit of just doing something special every now and then.

Terrific spell from Stokes
Was surprised that Cook's catch was given out though as the ball appeared to hit the grass One of those tricky ones where you think it's out but the slo-mo makes you doubt it Hope Duckett isn't as nervous this time around |

Didn't even consider it would be going over the top with it being such a low pitch
Hopefully Duckett can take advantage and make a decent contribution Shakib at the other end . Needs to make amends for his dismissal this morning that set the tone |

id take 220-240 now to set bangladseh 280ish to win Tempted to get involved and sell but it spoils the viewing as I want England to win

Yeah, hopefully not, it was quite clever the opening with Mehedi though from banglas, I mean with modern cricket the England camp would have been looking at videos of all the potential bowlers thinking of ways to play them, and then this bloke I doubt anyone saw wandered on and bowled really well.
One would hope they've studied the tape of the first innings and worked out a plan. even though by the first ball maybe not. I'd not heard of him on Thursday but it seems like he has a very good pedigree in U-18 cricket Think he may be around for some time . Looks a terrific talent |

his problem is going to be that bangladesh just dont play enough test cricket
think this is the first test they have played for something like 14-15 months To be able to bowl with that control (on debut as well) tells me he has the makings of something special |

If I was a county side without a decent spin bowler (Take your Pick !!) I'd be signing him up

Duckett seems to be using the same technique that he used in the first innings, of staying leg side of the ball
Doesn't look very convincing at the moment |

not great from Cook, absolutely hideous in every way from Root. Match back in the balance, as ,erm, Ballance comes to the crease.

Listening to TMS and watching tv with the sound down
Vic Marks just made a good point about the inexperience of Duckett as the non striker when DRS is involved. Need to have an 'umpiring head' on nowadays for when a review is possible Wonder if this may give us a (slight) advantage over India in the forthcoming series |

hopefully he'll go on to a big score after me saying this but i think ballance is a terrible player of spin and was surprised to see him play especially with all the left-handers it gives us in the top 7

8 wickets in that session
Would be tempted to send a right hander in next but with Stokes having bowled a long spell in those conditions and Bairstow having the gloves for a long period, they may not be the best choices to promote 3 wickets in the final 15 minutes (again) Spreads now showing 194 - 204..... |
