Ian Bell: "Today was about grinding out a day of Test batting. It wasn't going to be the best-looking style of cricket, but about trying to get a lead."
That would explain his 25.32 strike rate.
Doesn't explain the strike rates of the other batsmen who got a start, Cook 41.18, Taylor 52.48, Bairstow 39.36.
The thing is Bell genuinely believes the **** he comes out with.

Stokes even
He's been ruled out of bowling again so hopefully we won't have to risk him with bat either. No need if these two crack on

A lead of 70... Not ideal but it's a start I guess. Bowl then out for under 200 and should be favourites to win this.
Knocked the first 30 off far too easy....felt we needed a lead of 100+ especially with Stokes not bowling. Could do with a wicket or two before they get level.

Problem is our spinners are too expensive. They are too good against spin so they can't do a containing job and given they are bowling the bulk of the overs, allows Pakistan to score freely.
Could be in trouble here

225-4..............the lead is over 150 now.........England will be chasing at least 250 at this rate
