At the moment I wouldn't consider dropping Cook, KP, Strauss, Bell,Broad, Sidebottom, and Panesar based on a mixture of form, ability and promise

100 partnership, Broad's got 41 of them.

We now have to consider the declaration and for me it's a no-brainer. There are 42 overs left in the day, I'd say take 20 and really twist the knife, then have 20 with the new ball tonight. It will still be in good shape for the quicks to have 8-10 lively overs in the morning.

There's no need for the batsmen to go mad, just continue what they've been doing all afternoon c 5 an over. It would be disappointing if we go mad straight away and only add a further 20 or so.

I think it will it will depend on whether Bell gets to 200.

We have got to 549-6 and yet will still you find something to be potentially disappointed about!!!

How long until Broad is batting at number 6 for England?
