Game on, seems lacking in pace. Lights on whilst I am experiencing glorious sunshine in Berkshire.

Come on England.

I was a little surprised Cook opted to bat first after winning the toss. His own quest for 10,000 runs must wait for another day.

Compton's lack of confidence continues to show. He will be disappointed in the way he was dismissed.

On the plus side, Hales is amongst the runs again. 89/2 is a foundation to build on.

A solid 50 for Hales. Very pleased for him. Hopefully he can go on from here and score big.

England 95/2.

Root, as the great batsman do, follows up a duck with a 50.

Hales has looked more assured today than at Headingley. Looks much more ffluent.

A good hour after lunch for England. 153/2.

I was not surprised at his decision which is justified in the way the pitch has played.

Bell comes back for Compton as a final opportunity.

Is he still injured?

It is his intent and ability to manoeuvre the ball, rotate strike that are so appealing plus he is an exception stroke maker.

Just heard Halo hit a six down the ground.

Hales again livid with himself. A fine innings comes to a premature end for the second Test in a row.

WalkerHavent watched one ball of ILT20, Big Bash, BPL or SA20.

Just dont have the capacity to take in all the mindless hitting - it's cricket for the sake of cricket at this stage.
