    I can't think of a batsman in more control, or a pair of wickets more criminal, than Babar in this game

    It is the unexpected nature of the ball. Ahmed has consistently over pitched and I can only recall him bowling three or four short balls. That element of surprise but, as you say, bad balls get bad wickets!!!

    How's about that for a dropped catch not costing much! Sometimes rippers get wickets too

    Good balls get good wickets too - and this was the ball after a possible drop. Another to Ahmed and this really does beg the previous posed question as to why we took so long to bring him on

    176-5 and a lead of 126

    Ahmed is gonna be a gem. Just important not to rush him

    Two wickets shortish of a length

    Think the second one was a decent length to be fair as it dragged him forward

    That was just a rubbish shot

    And there's another one to Ahmed. Shakeel now out so we have two news bats in

    This dramatic incision by the kid leggie almost feels scripted. Qatar been on the phone?

    Root joins the wicket taking spinners

    181-7 and a lead of 131

    Nauman Ali looked clueless against Root, not sure putting Leach back on is quite the play. Let's see

    Root back on. Stokes admits the error

    That looked dead. Joel Wilson is a bit dodgy isn't he

    What that was though, was about as accurate a follow-up to a good short ball as you can see

    England will probably try and chase this tonight...

    I wasn't being serious but I wouldn't put it past them to try.

    A lot has been made about Bazball with the bat but this will be the 19th consecutive innings we will have taken all 10 wickets.  Its not really a bowling attack for the ages either is it?

    Anderson, Robinson and Wood are generational bowlers

    With Charlton being so shit its such a relief England are competitive at test cricket again. A very welcome distraction

    They certainly look like a team going for it

    Potts, Jacks and Overton aren't..

    Broad got a hatful in the summer as well mind.

    Robinson isn't a generational bowler, arguably wouldn't get in England's best team.
