    Need to drop Anderson, he's a waste of a bowling option.

    At least Broad is still offering something, and Tongue looked decent. If Moeen Ali is coming back in then should be for Anderson. Even Wood is a better option than Anderson

    Anderson is definitely coming to an end but if theres one wicket you want him bowling on its Headingley. A difficult place to bowl because of the hills on the run-ins so experience there counts for a lot. Pace bowlers need to bowl full at Headingley or they're going to get clattered all over. Jimmy does that and his performances on this wicket have been outstanding previously.

    Think they’ll rest Anderson for the next one, probably Wood for him.

    If you’re wondering why I’m up at this hour I was woken by a big bang and the sound of crashing glass. Went downstairs armed with a glass and found a painting had fallen off the wall. Hope my Barker of Bath isn’t damaged.

    If Scotland can add another 30 from here, they have a fair chance.

    Not sure why Leask isn't higher up the batting order, he was great against Ireland

    I agree, he got lucky there, but they should have thrown to the bowler's end as Watt had run out of steam.

    If Leask gets another few sixes then it is far from over.


    ****, spoke too soon.

    Cracker. If Scotland get a couple of early wickets then you never know

    Massive runs from Big Wattie.

    Well played Scotland.

    Good last over, 13 from it.

    Is 234 a good score? Seems a few runs light.

    Yeah, I would say a bit too light too, but should still make it interesting enough. Black bastards.

    Not bad considering you were 160 odd for 6.
