Finally some pace in the game - Umesh Yadav come on, I was almost of to sleep just watching the spinners and the "pie-chukker" bowl.

OMG! Prior very nearly did a Yuvi - put down on a full toss - Zak you duffer

Matt prior has a lot to do now, 8 down!

They've got us by the balls, i wouldnt enforce the follow and let us mull over it but dhoni knows best. Our dark nemesis raising its ugly head

Ian Bell is facing some abuse from Sir Geoff!

any money on him getting a king pair?

That was a pretty extradinary shot when he was 4-60 and 500 runs behind.

As an Australian happy to see both teams lose and therefore neutral, I reckon this is a pretty ordinary test wicket.

Obviously nobody was expecting a greentop, but an actual turf wicket would have been a good start to a cricket game.

With the score 111-0 over night... Do you think that David Shepherd would stand on one leg all night??

At last some grit from England, Captain Cook was a class act today and prior stood up. Still loads to do & Ironically No DRS is India's downfall haha.

Also Nick Knight is absolutely clueless get Butcher involved.

If the Indians had DRS, the test would have been already over as Cook would have been out LBW for circa 40.

They have shot themselves in the foot as Cook now looks determined to bat forever.

Patel would probably have hit a double hundred by now.

To be fair he's been out a few times before his shockers.

[uknsaunders]

Though they will probably still win, India's fitness looks very suspect. I wondered what 60 odd overs each for the spinners and 2 days in the field would do to them. If Cook/Prior can hang around another session things will get very interesting with the bowling flagging. I'd back our tail to bat out a session if one of Cook/Prior is still there.

India are the worst fielding side in test cricket by a long way. Duncan Fletcher must be getting paid alot to keep quiet on that front.

Great effort in the second innings, big chance it will be a draw.
I'd bring Finn and Panesar in for the next game (Broad and Anderson out).

[pacman75cricket]

Will they have the guts isnt Broad vice captain, & Anderson leader of the bowling attack?

[mdl_1979]

I can see them leaving Bresnan out for Panesar - but I think it's unlikely they will change their 4 bowler policy.

Broad's been awful for ages, Anderson doesn't look like getting batsmen out on their tracks
