			Now that would be nice if we can limit them to under 200.

			Awful decision against Root today, given LBW when there was a clear inside edge. If only there was DRS...

			l find it quite staggering that India are able to dictate about DRS as the ICC should be strong enough to tell them that we are having it in every test match whether they like it or not but sadly the top of the ICC is dominated with too much sub continent influence which in turn dictates things to their own liking.

			Liam Plunkett burst leaves Lord's Test in balance.

Well England must have a good session this morning or sadly the test is lost.

			Think our time dominating cricket is over.  Trouble is, who is there to replace Cook as captain?  Nobody is good enough to replace him.  All very well saying resign but the next one could be just as bad or worse.

 l am pretty sure there are plenty of better captains out there in county cricket and l remember a certain Mike Brearley who might not have had the best test average but he made up for that with his fine tactical captaincy and leadership.
