Burgey

Clarke gone.

Been very good from England since lunch it must be said.

Clarke plainly shouldn't have played, unless his back went badly down hill since the match started.

Well done Nasser - Clarke out playing exactly the type of shot to exactly the type of delivery he highlighted earlier when he came in.

i've firgured it out! Every time I listen to tms commentary we take a wicket, only annoying thing is that i hear it about 30 seconds before i see it on skyplayer

Finny strikes again, he's really bowling well so far. Clarke looked a walking wicket from the moment he came in.

Clarke dealt with it in a way that would suggest he's sore. He never got down. It won't be the only thing but i'm sure it's a big part of it.
In general he might be a bit out of touch, but getting pinged by short balls is nothing new for him.
EDIT: Now he gets out trying to pull a SHORT ball!! What a surprise!!

Selectors have a lot to answer for here with the Clarke selection.
Agreed, should never be left up to the player like it probably was here.

Selectors: "Hows your back mate, reckon you'll get up for the game?"
Clarke: "Yep all good phellas" (gulp)

That was inevitable.Good to see Finn getting in on the action straight away again.Lad is a proper find.

Clarke has to be dropped unless his back gets better quickly.

Pressure on again now with North in.

Entirely possible that he felt perfectly fine going into the match but a day in the field made it feel stiff when he woke up this morning.
