In the end it's a weird pitch, new ball seems better for the spinners, older ball better for seamers. Reverse to normal.
Guess Broad has staved off being "dropped" for another match, yet ironically this spell might mean he's more likely to be rested.”
All fair points but Batty had looked the most likely of our bowlers in the first half of the innings and certainly bowled loads better than he did in the first innings.
Hopefully we'll win and it wont matter
