saddler has wanted broad dropped every year for the past 5... So, you know!

In all seriousness, this is such a balanced England team; no more so than the pace attack. So, so good

I'm a very positive England fan. I think TFF and this forum proves that. Watching stokes smash into middle and leg.... Worried about us chasing this.

Another worldie from Taylor

I hadn't realised that Broad took the 5 wickets for just 1 run. Stunning. Finn on. Good change

Question is how many more overs can Broad physically bowl

Three consecutive wicket maidens for Broad. shame he was ill first innings.

5-14.

you have to wonder how many wickets Broad would get if we created green seamers.

The replay makes that looks even better. No luck.

What. A. Catch!

De Villiers gone for a duck. Again, world class bowling from abroad. Great line and length, and good catch by Bairstow. Wish more pitches were like this. Great battle of bat and ball

This is brilliant new ball bowling from abroad. Such consistency to remove both openers. I suspect Finn will come straight in for Anderson now

Top work by the middle and lower order to save this first innings

Finn gone. Not the worst thing if Bairstow can get a couple next over. Get in with a small lead and bowl before lunch

Cracking delivery. Surprised to see that the kookaburra is still swinging a bit. Promising if the overcast conditions remain

Mature batting here. Picking the singles and chipping away at the target

Andersons the concern. I'd give him a couple to see if it swings, and en look to Finn early

Broad will be vital I think. The sort of pitch that could see him steam-roller a team. I don't want to be chasing 250 in e 4th innings, so we need a huge bowling session or 2. Could be 25 runs down before we start.

That's what a day and a half of being battered in the field does to you. Good keeping by Bairstow
