It’s one of them innings.

Broad is bowling gas(as quick as wood) it’s moving both ways and is almost unplayable


He will then do nothing again till he’s questioned around August time for doing sod all all summer.

Feel sorry for England fans - that one performance a year broad puts in to keep himself in the side.

Good recovery from CdH and Watling

Was a lovely hot day.

Shame that we had them at 38/5 before that partnership, goes without saying that Broad/Anderson were the pick of the bowlers. Not sure why he didn't bring Stokes in earlier, albeit for a very brief spell. Leach did OK and you can see what they're trying to with Wood (who's giving it his all) but it's not worked out so far. Just seems silly to have dropped one of Overton/Woakes for Vince as far as I'm concerned.

Also that Williamson wicket was pure leg side filth, bloke must be gutted to not get himself in on what is a pretty docile deck.

Wood bowled OK, but as mentioned the plan was to just try bouncing them out. Wasn't really much out there for Leach, but there was one or two near misses

Bouncing out is the worst plan ever.

What was Wood's pace like? Bouncers have worked against us but then again we are a bit rubbish.

That doesn't surprise me.Wood hasn't got the build to be a genuine out and out quick.He is skiddy.Offers more than Overton and Currant bun I guess.

I’d put that at the time.

Broad getting in the 140 last regularly yet wood often dipped to 135.

Good to see Strokes bowling again. It is a worry that after Broad and Anderson the bowling attack just lacks that bite.

You don't understand, he bowled a few quick deliveries to Root in a T20 a couple of years ago so he's got to be an express pacer.

Because everybody has been bouncing us out we think it's what we should be/need to be doing. Broad even said so in his end of day interview.
