Seamers back on. Boult.

And 4 straight away. Controlled edge to 3rd man.

Uncontrolled inside edge for 4 second ball.

Would have kept the slow bowlers on. That was working.

[booboo]

3rd 4 in the over ...

15 off it.

Surely stick with the spinners and CDGH. make the batsmen make the pace

Still 12.5 rrpo

And a wicket. Holed out going for it.

Reasonably difficult from here.

So far so good navigating the Bangles sans Rosco. From what I gather they were expected to go OK on this tour and we've given them a sound spanking in all aspects. Good to see, given we face Aus and SA next.

I had no idea this game was even on today which in many respects sums up their tour. Things aren't looking too promising for them come test time that's for sure. I just hope the BCs don't get too overconfident, S.A. and Oz are a different stratosphere to anything these guys can put up.
