So, in what way does a first innings lead of 145 constitute atrocious batting?
I called it atrocious before Ali and Broad had their partnership. And normally scoring less than 300 would not get you a lead of 145 so it wasn't great batting from England whichever way you look at it.
 
The bowlers got England the lead, not the batsmen.
The way Johnson was bowling this morning just staying alive was remarkable. There has been some awful batting from both sides though, I'll give you that. As long as our bowlers stay on line we should still win this.
