    But stokes is a batsman that bowles... His bowling is good as an all rounder but for me not enough as a third seamer.. He should be the extra bowler.. that team only has two front line bowlers two all rounders and one part timer not enough! Need another genuine front line quick!

    But if we dont have a bowler good enough for third seamer slot?.....

    The selectors head off to South Africa to find one.

    Blackwood caught behind for 31 when trying to swipe at Jordan in the last over before the new ball. Not clever cricket.

    189-6

    Jonathan Trott specialist fine leg.

    Reminds me of when Ed Smith used to play for Kent. He fielded there too. Both ends!

    Must admit , found myself thinking that we just dont have a bowler who can make things happen when the pitch is dead - unlike Oz with Johnson and SA with Steyn and maybe Morkel. If conditions are not favourable our bowlers just struggle - Anderson has been made to look like a club bowler.

    Not an inspiring session but all it takes is one wicket and we'll fancy our chances of getting the rest.

    Bit of a graveyard pitch, but we should be able to bowl the West Indies out. Watching this is like watching a snail on Valium.

    He woz there!

    The big question is whether Holder will get his 100? Last over and needs say half a dozen what's he going to do?

    Looks as though the Windies have developed some backbone and pride .. a short while ago they would have simply capitulated

    Tredders looks the least dangerous spinner I have seen for a while for England. And looks like the lack of overs will save England (not the other way around).
