We're not scoring quickly enough again.

Root's low strike rate basically forced hales into that

Hopefully Morgan won't be scratching around like the other day.

He will be, but in the dressing room

No time for scratching.

This is going quickly down the pan.

Even quicker now.

I can hear the calls for Taylor.

Of course teams do win from this position but those teams tend not to be England.

BRING BACK COOK!

Bugger, I seem to have message board tourettes today.

Great catch by Amla.

I blinked and missed another Ben Stokes innings

And there goes Buttler

by **KipperJohn** » Fri Feb 12, 2016 2:12 pm

Buttler took his eye off the ball when playing the hook shot - hence the dismissal.

It seems a common fault in modern batsmen.

I nipped out for five minutes to get some lunch and three wickets have gone down.

Root will have to make a hundred from here, and we'll still lose.
