Just got home and switched it on, love to be proven wrong with Mitch Marsh.

Still wouldn't want to rely on him at 50/4 if the ball is swinging, though.

If they put the hammer down for a session and a half England are in a no win situation.
They can't bat five sessions with no target in mind.

Who hasn't been in truth?
Cook, root, Anderson and Broad all had to fire for them to have a hope, especially without stokes.

Anyone who can remember how to play test cricket. Bullshit positive cricket term doesn't work with quality opposition on their own muck heap
