They started to pull away with it a bit, but we've pulled it back to 152-4.

Sometimes I enjoy test cricket. I like it when there's plenty of needle going on like at Edgbaston.

There seems to be a lack of balls in the England team when Flintoff and Pieterson aren't around.

A lack of talent.

It was very encouraging to see a bit of a belated fightback this morning.

The two main weaknesses in the team are clear - bowling we rely on swing, which is unfortunate if the conditions don't encourage it, batting we have a dire upper-middle order at 3 and 4, and to an extent 5.

Strauss is great, and Cook, whilst not being at peak, is okay. Bopara and Bell are doing very little, and Colly not too much more. After that the tail wags more than any England team that I remember.
