Yeah looks pretty normal sort of Test pitch today. Jimmy was moving it nicely but he does that. Certainly doesn't look like the impossible conditions of the first two days ; though I guess the ball is getting older.

500 wickets and could get his best test figures to boot.

All Anderson since lunch...two lovely balls to remove Hope and Bishoo and then he's caught Holder to give Broad a deserved wicket.

And first ball Broad gets Gabriel...pending review...no . Reprieve for the Angel.

Broad still not at his best but he's looked better in this innings and hasn't had a lot of luck.

Lead is 106 and hard to see it stretching much further...

Anderson v Stokes for POTM and POTS?

Roach or Hope for WI POTS?

1 down. Good that Cookie did not review and waste it.

Hope leading runs scorer for the series...has to be him.

Stokes for the series , I think. Maybe Jimmy for this match , though it''s tight.

Also sound advice from Stoneman that review would be a poor gamble. Bishoo at last gets to take part in the match , albeit at the eleventh hour :)

Not that I blame Holder for using his seamers yesterday the way the ball was hooping around ! Though perhaps he might have given his leggie a shot at Broad late on ?

That wicket means Westley gets another chance at an audition...

Cook in the series: 243, 11, 23, 10, 17. Going to be England's leading run scorer.

Sort of the opposite of Root always getting a fifty.
