Morning all
Well first great innings by KP and Cook, great to see KP back to his best, now Prior getting run out for me was very very poor there was never a run there, but I would have let Broad take the run out as he has been poor on this tour so far and let's face it Prior is a far better batsman
Just proved my point as broad is out
82 runs ahead with the pitch turning though could prove valuable at the end but England for me had the chance to get a bigger score and I hope were not looking back at that pathetic run out

should have been a 150 lead at least, but typical england really, lets just hope swanny and monty can get into them early in the 2nd innnings

Agree early wickets and it will put them under massive presure Can't believe we are not opening with spinners

get the first 10 overs out of the way with the seamers, soften the ball up a bit and then get swanny and monty on, give KP a few overs aswell as he can turn the ball a hell of a lot

Very poor performance by the tail....Pietersen and Cook laid the platform and the last 6-7 players couldn't even lend a hand.....should of been a 150 lead in order to put this match beyond doubt..

Agree like I was saying Prior s run out was very poor when there was never a run there but tailenders were very poor today and again thought broad was poor
Anyway 3 big wickets taken and Monty looks on fire again, I love watching him when he takes a wicket his celebration are first class

Tailenders were poor but you can't expect anything from Monty or Jimmy, and Swann was unbeaten.
Broad is the biggest worry. Ineffective with the ball and unable to dig in and keep his wicket with the bat.
Prior is such a good batsmen but he is annoyingly prone to run outs.

tailenders cant do jack in these pitches. so stop expecting a lot from them. u need to have a very sound technique and even the most experianced found it hard to put up a fight.
