Don't quite see why you say that Warner should be watching on the TV. He came off 190 odd in his last innings. Have to partly agree though, he is a bit of a loose cannon. Remembering some great Aussie cricketers being booed in the past, he's in some elite company. Not sure if you have seen Warner in full flow..... He can terrify the bowler. Perhaps the next innings..... Here's hoping he can hit his straps and help make this series little closer. Unfortunately the only "full flow" we've seen him with is with his fists and mouth.

110 for 4 looks well dodgy.

110 for 4 looks well dodgy. I just think we would be better playing a normal game ....forget 527 and go out and play some shots .....we are strangling ourselves a little at the moment on a good pitch.....we shouldn't be struggling like this on here ....this is the pressure of batting second facing a big score ...even on a placid pitch it can happen , mind games as usual

Prior and Broad won't play like this though, they'll either get a bunch of runs or nowt!

Has the DRS system Been that crap, or is it more the umpiring that's been abysmal? I can't see how any umpire could give that Pietersen LBW not out?

Good steady session, only the Pietersen LBW decision being a concern. Well played Bell and KP.

Does anyone think Agar will play a test for Australia again? Or will he end up on the spin scrapheap alongside Nathan Hauritz, Michael Beer, Xavier Doherty, Jason Krejza, Bryce McGain (0-149 best figs) and Beau Casson?

He seems to have a few shots mate, but if he'd have been given out stumped in that first innings for 6 then his record (especially bowling) would be very ordinary so far?

A good question ?...I would think that he would at some point...he is only 19 ...that for a spinner is nothing at all , he is bound to improve as a bowler given more experience and his batting is a definate bonus for Australia

Shows how difficult it can be to find quality spin bowling.

Big innings for both England and KP nicely supported by Bell, hopefully Bairstow, Prior, Swann and Broad can all start to chip in a bit (I fancy Swann to make 50, I have a feeling).

If Bairstow's the answer, I'm fucked if I know what the question is. What does he actually do other than be shit? He's worse than Compton!

Anyway, let's not do a Shane Warne, Broad and Prior need 50s each here for me.

Also, this cobblers about not knowing when you've hit the ball? I only played club cricket, but we all know when we have - even if it's a feather edge. All of a sudden, now we have DRS players aren't sure whether the ball's hit the bat or not. It's bollocks. The same applies to catching the ball when it's bounced just in front. You know when if the ball has dropped into your hands or bounced up off the floor, even if it's a cm in front. I reckon that the umpiring is so crap that players are seeing what they can get away with?

I also think Taylor should come in for Bairstow. He's doing a Bopara.
