Bangladesh V England Test Series 2016

[Gingerfinch]

This is where our deep batting line up comes in handy.

[Aidan11]

I'm not going to panic. We were like this in the first test.

[Aidan11]

Axe on standby though just in case.

That must be it for Ballance now.

We've been saying it for a while.

Bayliss likes him because he reckons he's one of our better players of spin!!

Still bugger all for three is the norm so no real problems yet. Could do with play ending for the day sharpish. Conditions aren't exactly conducive for batting.

That will be the end of the day as the rain comes

[The Professor]

I'm not going to panic. We were like this in the first test.

England's scores at the fall of the third wicket on this tour
21/3
28/3
42/3

[Aidan11]

Still loads of time left in the game.

We're improving then. Might get 350.

Chance for Moeen to become the hero tomorrow by getting a double ton to go with his Michelle.

[budgetmeansbudget]

Could have done with the rain an hour ago.

Still no one expected Cook Fuckit and Ballance to score many runs.

One day someone will find a solution for England's top order, one day!

That doctor's appointment cost a lot of wickets. This 3 down early on is becoming an unwelcome habit.

Bairstow and Root seem to thrive on England in a hole, so maybe it's a tactic.

Ive never heard the 5-for being called a Michelle

Not sure picking the squad for both tours is working. Ballance is going to travel as a dead duck, and there are a few spinners England won't like the look of when they are picking the side for the first Test. There is no middle order back up. Time to bat Stokes at four? Or Bairstow?

Matt Prior was a great player of spin, and he was never budged from seven in Asia, so maybe not.

Could Duckett be tried in the middle order?
