5 down for not that many. England in danger of being bundled out relatively cheaply

Just going to say that Bancroft is woefully out of touch... and now an appeal.

 

[Creag]

Good call. Out. Why they are persisting with the current openers, this is mystifying.

Good call. Out. Why they are persisting with the current openers, this is mystifying.

Those two openers help the bowling tremendously.

Umps get another one wrong. Wow.

More sorry news: 'So the weather right now is the frustrating type: rain you'd play on in but not start. It's persistent, too. Some people say in the exposed parts of the stands are braving it without umbrellas, but even they might retreat to cover soon enough. The forecasts say it's set to continue.

Can't see a result in this test.

 

[Creag]

Perhaps a draw is a better outcome for this match. It would add more spice to the saga if it were to head to a draw.

On a separate note, it is a pity that the weather has rained on Andrew Strauss' parade. He deserved better conditions for his campaign. I do hope that they allow him another opportunity to raise funds and awareness.

Archer wants to end Smiths career.
Killer bowling that for sure.

That was a nasty bouncer, Smith like to get on the front foot early. Good bowling.

Smith is showing them what a masterclass batsman looks like.

Hit him in the exact same spot Phil Hughes got hit, but more of a deflection.

Nearly curtains for him.
