Quality knock by Bell. Love that England are playing for a result here with more rain forecast for the last 2 days.

Tbf to The Duke that ball was unplayable. It was a well made 24 though so I'm happy.

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

Meanwhile in the Australian hotel, their top order are crowding around the tv wondering why these English batsmen arent attacking every ball.

5 down and 200 runs behind in your second innings? Good time to steal a cheeky single!

Don't forget that every time Monty has got past 26 he's scored a double hundred.

Not many batsmen have that kind of record.

Judging by NZ's 1st innings scores against South Africa, I would say England are on top here.
