Quite enjoying the Sky commentary this morning. They haven't said much and just letting the cricket play out without ruining it with inane drivel. I prefer TMS of course, but difficult to sync it up with the telly.

Bad choice of shot from Stokes, gotta push on to a lead of around 100/150 should be handy, pitch looks a good track now though.

The right shot, just poorly executed. It was there to be hit.
England 287-5, take a first innings lead, mid-morning on day three, with 5 wickets in hand
