poor declaration yes however when we win it will all be forgotten.

9 left now too!

wonder whether even at test level there's a mental difference knowing when you walk out to bat there's absolutely no chance of winning if that affects your shots?

[Akewstick]

What an awful declaration. Ton up the pair of you!

My Guardian newsfeed this morning popped up with - Everyone in the world slates Cook for not enforcing follow on - I think if he'd have got himself a ton and then Pakistan batted the game out he'd be lynched.

Looking pretty at the crease doesn't pay the bills, just look at Vince...

Wheyhey. Aussies back.

My favourite player is Hildreth, hardly the most elegant but scores bucket loads.

At the rate the pair of them were going they'd have probably done it in 10 overs so I don't see no harm in just going for it and if either of them were out then fine. Hey ho.

Good start anyway

Seriously feel for stokes here, poor lad

[Felix Tito]

Make or break time for Ali. Without Stokes, we can't afford for the spinner to go around the park
