30 minutes to survive.... is there a chance of extra time to finish it?

Just lame from Brook. He;s looked rubbish all series.

a couple of poor decisions by the umpire there.

Gave it out when he missed it by 4 inches at least, then when Brook nicked it most visibly, he was a bit too scared to make that call.

The existence of the 3rd umpire made sure both times the correct outcome eventuated.

I feel like hes lost a bit of confidence since he absolutely bottled the chase in the last match vs india

TNT's commentary are watching a different game to me.

"its doing everything out there".... no its not. Its just been exceptionally crap batting that's done it, maybe a little nip and a few balls bounced unevenly, but the pitch is pretty flat and not really any lateral movement. Poor Matt Prior is in denial.

Thought that edge had carried to Green then... I think the slip behind him thought it too as he went to celebrate

A bit of nibble, maybe the odd ball moving a bit more. But Smith played that last one that nipped with a half meter gap between pad and bat.... that's just terrible technique.

Boland is giving him a hell of a work over.

Did the umpire have to think about that? Surely he hit that, looked no question at all in real time

Rubbish shot from smith

No foot movement. All hands.

His stocks are beggining to plummet after a very strong start in an england shirt

Indeed. Planted the front foot, had all of his weight backwards, try to transfer it by pushing his waist forward and hands forward into the shot.

Simple stuff really. Transfer your weight properly and move into the ball, he middles that and he bats on. Very poor technique.
