Not a great first over from Woakes.

Curren does not look to quick.

Is this his normal pace or is he normally a bit quicker?

This is what I've seen before but I'd heard that he'd quickened up a bit. Maybe not.

Not heard he's a quick bowler. Still developing though.

Woakes gets one. Good session for England.

Can not see him being much use outside of certain conditions.

Woakes gets his first. Great morning for England i would say. Anderson still off his game.

Cricinfo points out that's Woakes' first wicket of the year.

Good ball for his second wicket from Woakes. Bowling well after the poor first over.

Woakes gets his second - good spell.
