They just need to carry on attacking as wickets no longer matter

Vic Marks is spot on:

"Pietersen was given the freedom because of what Cook, Strauss and Trott had done before in wearing Sri Lanka down. By the time Pietersen came out they were there for the taking but my word did he take them apart."

Not at all but at least it wasn't the brush. Being fair the bowling was excellent and the batting woeful at times
