Woakes just bowling a load of floaty half volleys. Couldn't look any less threatening.

"Woakes looks like a bowler who will give you half a dozen decent overs in the dead bit of an ODI. Which I guess he will do again."[DOUBLEPOST=1377184789][/DOUBLEPOST]Woakes off, Trott on.

Only we could play 5 bowlers and still be one short!

"England have bowled badly today. They had a great opportunity when they came out and the ball was swinging. They've missed a trick."

"I don't think you really count these sorts of wickets, you've got tail-enders in who are throwing the bat."

SEETHING[DOUBLEPOST=1377189251][/DOUBLEPOST]Still, nice of Swann to show them how it's done.

Not sure what they're learning about Kerrigan here as the skipper unsurprisingly won't bowl him. Woakes looks about as threatening as a wilted lettuce[DOUBLEPOST=1377189983][/DOUBLEPOST]Declaration must be imminent unless he's after a morale-boosting 500

"How slow can Cook go with his team and bowlers in the field. Five overs in half an hour just not on in the modern game. The ICC need to change the rule and understand you have a paying public who spend hard earned money and want to watch a full day."

He's right like.
 
Ed Smith, Ex-England batsman on BBC Test Match Special
"I find it very strange that we've had every form of slowing the game down by England, the umpires are there to police the game but they've done nothing. And Nathan Lyon has gone out and not faced a ball, and Australia have declared after scoring one extra run - I can't explain it. Unless Clarke had enough of England moving their nine boundary fielders by half an inch."
