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

Chasing 200+ on that track won't be easy...
A wicket or two before scores are level is a must, keep the pressure on..
Pakistan are 74-3...
If 220 is set, with Pakistan's spinners, it could/will be a tough ask..
It's already showing indifferent bounce!
