I'm not saying Bresnan isn't a decent bowler, but at the start of the Ashes Finn was ahead of Bresnan in the pecking order, then Finn got injured and now he's below Bresnan despite being fully-fit and in-form. He's also more of a like-for-like replacement for Tremlett than Bresnan is.

You wonder whether Strauss was thinking "I'm batting shite, better get another bat in the line-up"?

England's best batsman now at the crease.

Bresnan's a better bowler i'd say, he doesn't give away runs like Finn does. They're both fully and Finn and Bresnan's more in-form. Finn took wickets last night but he's done much before that and he's playing four-day cricket at lower level.

It looks like it's down to Prior, then.

The only (very small) crumb of comfort at the moment is that if we can pitch the ball up when we bowl, we could take just as many wickets...
