Moeen to bowl the last before lunch ; not sure about this...think I'd have gone with pace after that second wicket. But worth trying I guess.
Two fours ...ah well.

England will be fairly happy to have both openers. Back to bed now , me...hope it stays fine for the rest of you...

So Smith didn't review the edge because he didn't think the technology would be definitive?

If technology is going to be used, let's at least use it properly...

If that was the reason, he's the anti-Watson. Strangely sang-froid. Would you even consider the technology if you know you haven't hit it?

So why was our most outstanding leg slip/short leg fielding in the slips? Anyone who has watched England over the last ten years would know that if anyone was most likely to take that chance it would be Ian Bell.

2 wickets in 27 overs is hardly justification of a bowl first decision.

broad's jacket has got to be on a slack nail , his bowling has been largely toothless and he bats like a little girl now

he is barely getting above 80mph here
