Yeah, Yardy would have been a much better choice here, even Swanneh

Morgan gone. This hasn't been a great end for England. I was hoping we'd get 175-180. Look like we're going to struggle to get 160 now.

Reckon England have the edge with the extra spinner though.

It's entirely dependent on the start I think. If Sidearse starts decently and then Bresnan doesn't bowl too many gimme deliveries then we could defend it. Should certainly have got closer to 180 after the start. I'm fairly optimistic, reckon we've got a decent chance.
Fat Bresnan will be killed on this pitch. They should just bowl Colly or KP instead.
England will have the backing of Pakistani supporters as well today. For them, this is a do or die match.
Reckon a lot dpends on Smith
If he's fit/in form, he has the game to bash the spinners out of the attack and that'll go a long way towards victory
However, as TEC mentioned, it's interesting that the previous game was a relatively low scoring affair so this could be a pretty good total
4 free runs for Smith to start from Sidebottom. Such a terrible place to bowl to Graeme Smith. Go home Sid, seriously.
Pretty dreadful start from Sidebottom, 5 easy runs to Smith
Surprisingly good start from Bresnan. Been right on the mark.
Typical lightning Yorkshire pace duo this.
Stuart Broad in bowling half-trackers shocker. Quick Stuart, round the wicket!
Could have put your House on Broad to bowl a short one first up
Its pretty clear that the slower you bowl, the harder it is to play.
