Thought Mitch might have tried to take Moeen on.

After being tanked early on, Moeen's last four overs have only cost one run.

England's over rate is pretty slow and with this cloud cover bad light might become a factor.
Work expands to fill the time available, so why do today what can be put off until tomorrow.

Bit of calm after the storm now as Mitch and Watson dig in. The latter managing to keep his pads out of the way so far.

Need to break these two up if I'm going to get an early night. Come on Stokes...

Three of my favourite commentators on at the moment, Holding, Ponting and Hussain.

Always informative and genuinely love being in the box IMHO.

3 particular moments stand out for me in this match and Haddin is involved in all of them.

The drop
The non appeal

I can't remember the other one.

England needed that wicket.

Game had gone a bit flat for them.
