I hope the line improves from both Tremlett and Anderson, never thought i'd agree with Nick Knight but would like to see the bowling more at the stumps rather then outside of off stump.
 
I didn't realise that no LBW could be appealed, I thought it was just hawkeye. They should be able to review it if they think it's been edged or pitched down leg because that's not predictive, they're 100% accurate.

I can see what Anderson is doing. The in swinger on the stumps will be the surprise ball.

Tremlett's line has just been poor
 
Surely with Jimmy swinging it this much his stock delivery should be the in-swinger and then the odd one that goes away.

Or if he's going to bowl away swing to the lefties at least go around the wicket.

I'd have assumed he'd have... oh, there's the inswinger
 
I'm surprised to see Broad replacing Jimmy rather than Tremlett, he was starting to look like the most likely man to make the breakthrough. Unless he's planning on switching ends for him, because I can't see this pitch offering much for Swann at the moment.
 
Plumb LBW and no one went up for it

He's bowled 9 balls. 3 of which have went down leg and 3 have been too short.

Looks a lot better so far today, hopefully that Championship game he had has given him the kick up the arse he needed. Just keep pitching the ball up and the wickets are there to be had. It's just a worry that he'll revert to type if he doesn't get some early wickets.

Gerrin Broad! Cracking delivery!:-D
