Warne really is CLUELESS... called it a half-hearted effort from Moeen Ali, not committed to the shot... then Lord Gower politely points out that he got there EARLY, hence the toe-end.

PLEASE, PLEASE can Sky shut the ****wit Warne up? 
Don't worry Titanic, Boycott is on TMS at the moment who is hardly being a world class broadcaster.
On the actual cricket, I think pasty is right. Need to push on to 500 minimum and have a bowl tonight. I can't help but feel it'll end up as a draw otherwise, which'll be a waste of this batting.

Buttler leading a charmed life... another slashing drive and drop at first slip (probably MSD should have gone for it?)
