May I be the first to congratulate James Vince on what was a most marvellous innings.

It was great watching them start to twitch when the runs began to dry up. They were itching to get after a few balls but you could see them telling themselves not to. Stoneman looked quite organised and fairly comfortable from the start.

I didnt notice Vince playing away from his body, thought he looked quite tidy. I recall seeing that repeatedly with Westley in the summer and it winds me up.

Maybe I'm being harsh. I saw him going at a couple of wide ones he should have left well alone. Westley was terrible for it, you're right. I don't really understand how you can learn your cricket in England and bat like that.

I dont really understand how you can play the shot. How do you control a drive with your hands that far away from your head and body?

Its disgusting, that's what it is....

I thought Cook's dismissal was a bit ****e. He seems to be playing that a long way ahead of himself.

If you can trust the bounce, have a good enough eye and the bloody thing's not going to deviate, you can just play on length and get away with it.

Trescothick, after all, had a decent test career by simply planting his foot straight down the wicket and just thumping the bloody thing.

Cook's always a candidate for that if you can get the ball in the right place early in his innings.
