    Anderson's first ball and the LBW turned down. Reviewed and Umpire's call by a millimetre so not out.

    Sorry it was Williamson not Anderson because they crossed the previous ball.

    Pleased for Wood. He looks very useful as a third seamer coming off the short run up and hitting 90mph plus.

    That was a like of agreement, not of liking. Last ball of the day cook will run root out

    The Snail has failed again. Sparkling innings of 0 from twelve deliveries. He really gets the blood racing.

    It was a silly decision to drop Ballance into the ODI team earlier this year.


    7 18 104* 23 0 74 71 27 110 38 156 37 64 122 10 81* 77 23 18

    were all of his test scores before this series at an average of 62.35. We can't just drop players after one or two bad games. His test record more than shows he has got what it takes at this level and he deserves to keep his place for the remainder of the summer.
