Ok, good toss to win but the Windies have failed to capitalise on the conditions. Pleased for Cook. He is a class player. The Shah at number 3 was a real odd decision. He is a decent top order player at County level. But Bell is the better and more obvious choice at 3, even if he has made runs at 6 before. Shah was obviously a bit rattled after briefly forgetting he was playing cricket and not football and trying to head the ball into the back of the net.
KP...well, what the hell was all that about? Sometimes he plays his innings inside out - Starts off with confidence and then goes back into his shell. Whenever he does this he gets a start and then stomps off after holing out. When he is at his best is when he comes out and plays himself in until he hits 20 and then puts his foot down.
200 for 3 isn't a bad score though. I have seen England do much worse than that. Really they should be all out for 400 after lunch tomorrow. I doubt there will be anymore play tonight. It will be nice to see young Cook make another 50 or so. Bell should make runs and so should Prior. This tail looks a bit long and scary...more of a snake than a tail! Monty was the right choice over Jimmy Boy and both Hoggard and Barmy Harmy are on top form. All set for a good game.

Who's got the highlights? I can't find any anywhere. BBC schedules are bare, as is Channel 4.
No one has them...I suspect after such a poor performance throughout the past winter no one actually wanted them!
