Shame we couldn't build on that big stand from Compton & Taylor but we got to 300 so it could have been worse.

That looks like a par score to me, if you consider we were 53 for 3 with our two top batsmen back in the hutch without making a contribution then 300 is a cracking score to get up to.

We will need to bowl well, but I'd say that we've shown for the first time this year an ability to come back from a really bad state of affairs.

Not according to their Test and first-class records. Anyway, Petersen retired a while ago.

A bit wayward though.

Ridiculous appealing from England. We used to call this cheating.

Bairstow moved so late then

Would have been an easy catch if his footwork was better
