Is there much help off the pitch?

Or are England just not batting well

[yuppie]

So its all down to cook to play a Captains innings here.

been a little but nothing extravagant , odd one has broke the surface

[Aidan11]

Half an hour into the second session of the match and already the game officially sucks.

Oh dear. Time to show how strong the tail is then.

Good work by WI.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I can see England getting even more bogged down here.

[Aidan11]

Good toss for WIs to lose.

[Aidan11]

The vein in my forehead is throbbing in a dangerous way.

[rich1uk]

Good toss for WIs to lose.

certainly looking like it , all the talk before the toss was it was a no-brainer win the toss and bat type pitch

[Arthur Crabtree]

Sounds like the spinners will be harder to play later on, so probably was a good toss to win.

Pretty sloppy batting especially Trott and Bell. Ballance's middle stump disappeared, Root probably a bit over -confident. Cook still there just about.

[Aidan11]

I keep telling myself it's only on TV so it's not real.

[Aidan11]

Come on Root & Moeen.

What?

Well I'm not used to Cook still being in after 40 overs.

[andy]

this is a pathetic batting display thus far, it really is...need Cook to go big here, and for Moeen to get some much needed form
