Darn it. I said I was done with this series, then England go and have a more-or-less perfect day, and put themselves in a good position in the test and reel me back in, sucker that I am. Still, England have put themselves in decent positions in every game, only to manage to toss it away, which is what has made the series so infuriating. Odds are this match will be infuriating too. England still have to bat last, so a bit lead is almost certainly going to be necessary if they are going to win.
Well done Cook and Broad. Finally a little luck, and the old adage of form being temporary, class being permanent proves itself true yet again. Never in doubt? (*looks back over posting history. Regrets big mouth*). And yes, better to have done it while the series is still live, but they all count. If they contribute to avoiding the 5-0 defeat, I will say that's worthwhile.
