Bell concerns me a bit. He isn't even trying to put the occasional bad ball away? It's Prior whose keeping things ticking over nicely, hope he doesn't feel like he has to take even more risks to compensate? Like that you mean ....?

Bell needs to score as well as occupy the crease, or the pressure is on the other batsman. He's missed out on some dire deliveries from Agar.

I'd take Broad not making a run for 103 minutes again if it meant Bell stayed in and pushed on.

Broad to do an Agar. What do you think guys...

It's ideal conditions wise for our bowlers in their second innings but we're nowhere near a decent total. It's turning, keeping low and reverse swinging after 12 overs and the pitch is so bone dry it's roughing up the ball. 160 run lead with Swann, Finn and Anderson to come and 7 sessions left. I think I'd rather be them at this stage but it could change with one decent partnership?

Am I being a miserable old bastard or is anyone else getting sick of the sight of Agar's happy, smiling little face already? I think I know the answer!

But he's 50 not out mate we would be in the mire without his innings .....he wasn't putting Prior under pressure , he would have played that way anway and played that shot , thats Matt Prior

I'd love to see him get a ton, if he does it will ironically be one if his best!

Let's hope Broad and Swann can help him out mate. Not only would it mean an outstanding ton but we would also end up with a lead of 275+?

You have to think Broad will run out of luck soon, but it's been a very useful momentum shifting innings? He's a good lad.

It's all gone quiet on here. Is it because we're now getting very close to a decent lead, or is everyone getting pissed in the garden?

Shocking decision from the umpire. Nearly as bad as the stumping yesterday!

Nearly as bad as the stumping, Trott's and Root's. Karma's a bitch.

Michael Clark is doing some big spits. Can you get a warning for that? Just get the old sawdust out Can't believe on the radio Agnew is off on one basically accusing Broad of being a cheat for not walking. I wonder how many Australian batsmen throughout the years, or ANY batsmen would have walked. It's not in the laws and rules of the game that you HAVE to walk. Also, not long ago Alec Stewart was on TMS during the Champions Trophy and he said that in his career in English County Cricket he was told to "always walk" and he didn't once and got a right bollocking for it by his coach. Then, he went to play in Australia and over there he was told "never ever walk, wait for the umpire" - So yeah them's the vagaries.
