It's mostly not out when they use long lense as distorts things

There was no doubt, massive inside edge and hand underneath the ball. There was no angle at which the hand wasn't underneath.

I agree I think was out even though it looked to have bounced it looked to me as though bounced off fingers in to hand but when they go to the long lens they give it not out most of time as it distorts the image

Squeaky...Bum...Time

Definately

Anyone else think KP really needs to just hit out and play attacking cricket? I don't see him lasting very long if he keeps poking at everything. And Adnan Akmal really needs a punch for being that annoying " "whaheeeeeeeey."

and just after I typed this he's out. Typical.

Wow, just wow.
All depends on Broad now

Strauss to get a match winning knock

Should have been out though.

England run the risk of being the alternative India - inspired under their own conditions / seaming conditions - yet hopeless in a spinny situation.

Morgan - who is supposedly a fine player of spin - looks shot and has to step down. KP - again another good player of spin - looks a novice.

You do not remain the 'best team in the world' unless you can adapt to conditions all round the world. Is Bopara actually on the tour? The bowling attack is right, but the batting needs a little shake-up I feel.

One does wonder though, how the current Australian and South African side would fare in these conditions? The Aussies - not so well, the Saffers I fancy to make a better fist of things.

Battings carrying too many passengers at the moment, only Cook and Trott are in any sort of form. However with only Bopara as backup it's hardly worth making a change as he's even worse.

[100 not out]

Where's your money peeps???

Bell, KP and Morgan have scored 94 runs between them in 12 innings.

Bopara cannot be any worse, plus he can bowluseful overs. Whatever people think of his attitude and past record, he has to be a better option than Morgan.

England should play 2 spinners all winter, so someone like him is need.

Australia will probably be the next number 1 side as they do look competitive in alien conditions.
Both England and India have their weaknesses: England in the sub-continent and India in England/Australia.

Great to see Panesar delivering, it would be a fairy tale ending for him if it is Panesar who hits the winning runs.

Edit: This is ridiculous: Trott and Broad now gone.
