it hasn't got that bad!

Lyth's dismissal was a decent ball and standard way for a test opener to go........... the rest of the guys should be ashamed of themselves, very poor cricket this last few overs.

[Aidan11]

Cook still there trying to get his 9000th test run.

[yuppie]

Still a lot of batting to come.

But Cook will need to be there all day for England to have a chance of holding out.

This is going well.

Bring back Pietersen.

I was just saying before someone else did. We can be bowled out for 76 and I still wouldn't want that cu^t back.

England will be grateful that KP failed with the bat in the current CC game for Surrey.

What do you do if you are Stokes? If anything, the batters who have been positive have done well on this deck.... tell him to go out and hit a few?

The old cliché of play your natural game.

Think he needs to play his natural game.

Tough situation as he is damned if he does, and damned if he dosent.

I'd like to see him have a go. We can't survive just by blocking out 90 overs so we might as well see a bit of entertainment.

Imagine the comparisons if Stokes belts a 149 to help us complete an historic victory.
