New ball was always going to decide this game...

The trouble is our #outofform list is a lot longer than our #inform list...

 

[Phil B]

i'd be worried if it wasn't for the fact that the new ball is jagging all over the place. The England bowlers will be happy to see such extravagant movement.

 

[keaton]

Good to see TCB's being his usual calm and reasonable self

That is a wildly optimistic total now Broad has gone.

I genuinely think 250 is bang in the middle of neither side having an out right advantage.

 

[Titanic]

Broad survives.

But not for long.

275-8 (lead 243)

Bresnan having a bash...

Lead reaches 253... Bresnan smashes two FOURs... moves on to 32
