said to myself last night we'll declare at 3 o'clock .. could be earlier ?
all right bowled out near 3 o'clock .. superb all round batting from England .. I can't recall ever seeing an Aussie side looking so flummoxed and all at sea .. Cummins' captaincy is not all that i m o .. any chance that Sandpaper Schmidt could get a skipper recall ? .. also, can't recall a test/series in which so many pace bowlers are into their30s so far this series bears no resemblance to the tests I used to go to as a kid/younger man .. the Windies used to be so good that they were exciting to watch, but usually in very one sided games
Strange review - surely he knows he hit it? But why doesn't Wood take the new ball instead of letting them get a start??
broad and anderson can swing it more. Plus wood is an "enforcer" type, who can shake things up when things aren't happening.
Didn't see any swing from Anderson. Offered no threat once again. Who would you rather face first up - Anderson bowling gentle 80mph stuff that doesn't do much or Wood steaming in at 93mph??

Come On England
Close is now at 18:13 BST. We can play for another half an hour to allow overs to be bowled so realistically stumps are at 18:43
(as Russell Slade once said)
...if they last that long
