450-6

Pujara 165no

A couple of our batsman will need to drop anchor to save this one.

[Pedenj]

Swann will be fuming with Patel for taking that wicket..............

There spinners are going to rip us apart here in reality, need batting of the highest order.

[Shaggy]

We haven't a prayer.

[Pedenj]

Yeah, you're right.

Even the biggest optimist must be giving up hope. Has to be some questioning over the selection after this match.

[Chazza]

Keep putting chances down.

Cook should have held that.

[Pedenj]

Hard enough job taking 10 wickets here - let alone putting down so many chances.

Been sloppy in the field.

Patel

[Pedenj]

*SEAMER WICKET ALERT*

Anderson finally gets one

[Shaggy]

They open the bowling with spin ffs.

[RichC]

Why oh why can't we be a little bit flexible - look at the wicket and think "**** we should probably be bowling a lot of spin, Monty you're playing!"

[Pedenj]

Keep this run rate up and we will cruise to victory.......................

[Shaggy]

Compton 7 not out of 45 balls

Making Cook look aggressive

[Shaggy]

Compton gone. What a waste of time.

[RichC]

well no chance of winning this I guess it's going to be a seige mentality and try and get a draw - no chance IMO

[Pedenj]

Stupid choice - he doesn't even open at County level does he?
