    not sure about that .. we had them on the ropes and then let them escape with some incomprehensible bowling changes

    Stokes having to bowl six ropey overs betrays the problem with not having Archer in the side

    Or alternatively Jimmy's fitness betraying him thus not allowing him to bowl the overs you'd expect on a first morning with juice in the pitch and favourable atmospheric conditions.

    It probably wasn't planned for Stokes to have to bowl as early as he has.

    Jimmy Anderson has tightness to his right calf and will have a scan this afternoon. A further update will be given later today. He felt tightness at the end of his fourth over.

    Anderson possibly out the match after 4 overs.

    that was a poor umpire decision, but in our favour, so i'll let it slide for now...... but please let us get him out before he gets to 50

    Being harsh, that's 3 umpiring errors so far this morning. 2 nicks missed, and an incorrect LBW given
    5 errors now. Massive number of DRS reviews reflects this

    When someone is 37 and you have a calf strain, it will take longer to be fit to play a 5 day test match. Jimmy or the staff can say it's a different part but that is just an excuse.
    Feel sorry for Olly Stone as surely Archer wasn't fit to play a test match.
    The bowlers who were in form against Ireland are on it again.
    Woakes on his home patch and Broad have carried on the form from the Ireland match.

    Just think the selectors weren't prepared to play 2 bowlers who weren't 100 per cent fit.
    Archer will be fit for 2nd Test - no problem.

    I'm going on Sunday, so hoping it gets that far.
    I'm worried about how much play I'll get to see on Saturday...
    This game could be over quite quickly, the way wickets are falling

    Smith is still there.
    I'll be very pleased if we get them out for less than 200, but it wouldn't surprise me if they get close to 250.

    I'll be bolloxed if we bowl em out

    It looked like it was going down leg to me.
    We'll see in a while.
