Do you believe that we can win or even more so bat the day out to draw. O
Ballance toppled... bowled off his pads by a full one from Boult.
61-2
Iffy!

Not from this position... and hopefully we can bat this out... the experienced pair of Cook and Bell need to lead the way here.

Ideal time for Bell to stand up and be counted in a partnership with Cook.
Oh dear
Just been out thought and outplayed by Craig and McCullum.
The pressure is right on now.
Bloody stupid shot from Bell. Suckered.

Time for a Cook and Root 393 run partnership then.
When is it going to rain?

Root cannot believe that
What a catch.... he hit that pretty firmly... perhaps Latham was just a bit lucky to hang on to that when it hit him in the chest.... but great reactions.
62-4 and in trouble here.

I'm still confident
Bell has not looked like a player with 12000+ International runs to his credit... and poor in the slips too... with so many new/inexperienced batsmen in the side (Lyth, Ballance, Stokes, Buttler) we needed more from him.
Tough to drop him because of the inexperience elsewhere but he is in danger of becoming a real issue in the balance of the side.
We can only hope he finds something special for the Ashes. England expects.

Bell has become a liability recently which re enforces the calls for KP to be brought back.
Ouch!
Stokes has just taken a nasty blow amidships
