Is it me or is it getting a bit dark? Bell not picking up that full toss either...

What price bad light? Tomorrow's forecast looks miserable, too.

****ing hell this is dull cricket. I am sick of these lifeless pitches we've insisted were prepared for this series

We should be able to beat this Aussie team on most surfaces and it's negative in the extreme to ask for these surfaces to be prepared for every ****ing test.

Durham had some movement and was a much more exciting game. This is just awful though.

It's really dulling the contest, 2 potentially ripping games ruined by dull surfaces (and rain). Expect flat tracks in Australia, but never will they be this slow, scoring will be easier and more seam movement and bounce on offer, can't stand watching this in comparison.

The only decent wicket has been Durham, the rest have been utter ****ing dross

The good matches have happened in spite of the pitches
