Sorry, that's what I meant, don't send Ali at all.

Looks like that wicket gave us false hope.

I wouldn't rule out a WIs lead here.

No chance. They won't get 270.

Time for my checklist I think...

Axe
Outrage Bus
Moores Out hand grenades
Family Guy/Simpsons references

It's time Root had a bowl.

From a Yorkshire perspective, get in there! Assuming Rashid arrives at Trent Bridge on time, Yorkshire have a fighting chance against Notts.

From an England perspective, it makes no sense to replace a barely fit spinner with a fully fit one. Surely Moeen is better off staying at Worcestershire and getting some overs under his belt before the summer internationals.

Unless if Moeen is to be utilised as a batsman only and England send home one of Adam Lyth or Gary Ballance.

Six down

That Ramdin dismissal has probably sealed WI fate, they really need that pair to survive till lunch.

Ramdin out for nine....
:roll:

The collapse starts now. I will be surprised if we make it to tea.

You will if we keep dropping our catches.

Commentators talk up Holder's batting, but his stats don't bear that out.

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 5:01 pm

Surprisingly hostile spell from Broad.

by **hopeforthebest** » Wed Apr 15, 2015 5:16 pm

It's not just about runs for the WI, time is a big factor for them. If they can bat till tea and keep the England lead to about 100 then England may bat three sessions (or more) to get the lead Cook would be happy with.

Decent session for England. Two wickets. Not many runs. Should be well ahead at half way.
