Well that was better.

Good day for England, good couple of days for England in fact. Cook passes Wally Hammond. Sensible batting in the main from Trott at the end.

I'm still nervous, mind.

DRS and Compton would have got a reprieve too - gloved it. That said, he deserved to be given out just for playing a FLAMIN' PRE-MEDITATED SWEEP SHOT.

Fancy Pietersen for plenty on this deck.

I noticed a post on twitter that said if India had opted to have the DRS Cook wouldn't have made a single century in this series. Is that right?

Not sure. Certainly there wasn't anything in this latest one that I can think might have even been referred.

Stupid way to get out. If there's a double-ton in the offing, just let the ball hit you ffs. It's a cricket ball, not a frickin' hand grenade.

England do the business yet again. I could get used to this.

No Broad for the final Test - fine, no bother, don't want him anyway.
Finn doubtful for final Test - AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

Broad out of the t20s. Eoin Morgan to captain.

Tricky day. Sluggish pitch, defensive fields, attritional cricket. It's all about KP now and how much support the rest of them can give him.

Oh ffs Pietersen...

Ian Bell. Up there in my estimation with Colin Bell.
