Bell's form is dreadful, has been for 12 months. Ballance is one of the world's top run scorers in test cricket over the past 12 months. If anyone were to make way for KP at no.4 it would be a straight swap for Bell. Also, we have to give Lyth some time. Pointless going through opener after...

Carberry. You're good at this!

Stokes for me. 2 big scores in both innings, and a spell in the afternoon that tipped the match in England's favour. Brilliant.

Caught at 3rd man! :lolol: what a catch by Ali. Well, a truly stunning test match. England could have capitulated within the first morning, but have somehow risen from a point of desolation to looking like a 'team' once more. If Cook's form can also prove helpful to Lyth, and Ballance isn't...

FFS don't move fielders after a ball has gone through!!! :censored:

You realise you will have to fall on your sword for the edited post that never was if we don't win this!!! :whistle:

12 overs to go - the same number Jimmy and Monty faced in 2009!!! :eek:

It's not won yet. Remember Jimmy and Monty in Cardiff!!!

That's a bit mean getting in before he had a chance to amend. :ohmy:

Moeen deserves that. He's been left out of the attack only because Anderson went after him. Just shows he was probably stewing out there. Great c & b. Wow. Just wow. What a match.

It was some good bowling that, quality ball. About time we got one of those narrow ones as so many in the first innings that were hitting got given not out and stayed not out. Game on now! Did someone say bore draw!?!??!

Going to hinge on whether the weather creates a bit of reverse on the ageing ball. Hasn't done so far, but who knows...

They're hoping to have him caught at 3rd man I think. :moo:

YESSSS!!!! I can maybe stop worrying about 3rd man now!

Right, I know the commentators are discussing it, but we're seeing edges go to 4th slip, gully, why not get 3rd man up? Just such a defensive mindset.

Definitely get the 3rd man out of there now!! Cracking start!

Now is the bowler asking for a 3rd man, or is that the captain? Surely got to get as many catchers in there as possible?

Game on!!! Look at the shape on that seam, incredible ball.

Has there been just 2 tied Tests in the history of test cricket? Not sure I'll be putting much on it, but certainly still possible! :thumbsup:
