			If they can get those last 2 wickets done within 5 overs then England will have an excellent chance of winning.  Provided they go for it and don't play boring cricket.

Of course it works in reverse when England are batting, didn't manage to switch back to the footy in time to save Trott, surprising number of wide balls played on in this match.    |

			They've really brought Trott back at the wrong time, I feel sorry for the guy, he's clearly a quality cricketer but his head is not in the right place at all.

			Another gross collapse - sadly it's nothing we haven't see all too much of in recent years, the difference being that there was a time we'd be banking on our bowlers to get us out of trouble.  Somehow I can't see that happening right now.
