This pair have put on 61 at 4.5 per over as they tuck in to the old ball. Graeme Swann is beginning to be missed very badly, not having a top class spinner is an impediment.

Finally... Bell hangs on to this one, Sangakkara driving at a wide one from Broad... out caught in the gully for 79.

And another! Sharp bouncer from Plunkett, fended off and gloved through to the leaping Prior. 4th wicket for Plunkett.

229-7

I'm happy I mentioned the former spinner now - Broad coming back and taking a wicket in the first over of his spell just like Swann used to do.

Close of play, Day 1 - England 36-0, trailing by 221 runs with 10 wickets in hand.

That has turned out to be a very good day for England, and captain Cook, including a hat-trick for Stuart Broad, and 5 for 64 for Liam Plunkett.

Hopefully tomorrow he and Robson can push on and make big runs.

Cook needs a score or Warne will start whining again

Need 450 minimum and as stated Cook needs runs.
