I don't expect many to agree but I actually don't mind Knight when he's doing the ODIs and the CB40 games. He's quite knowledgeable about the players on the county scene and his OD cricket nous is actually worth listening to at times because he takes the format a lot more seriously than the other Sky commentators. He's god awful in Tests though, no doubt.

Not unlike his playing career, now that I think about it....

Odd sort of shot really, just a straight ball aimed at middle, but Taylor played all around it.

Williamson really needs to keep Brownlie away from Swann as much as possible. He'll eat him up with this sort of turn.

good thing Williamson is doing a Hashim Amla and everything is hitting him outside the line, time to start using his feet I fancy.

Honestly though, from that sort of line the only way you're gonna get out LBW if you're way back in your crease - it'll either hit outside or go down leg if you're forward at all. So lots of appeals and excitement but that doesn't mean you're likely to get out like that.

Yeah, I was just about to say that it has to be absolutely perfect for it to be LBW when it's turning that much, from that angle. It's why I'd like Swann to go around the wicket a bit more than he does.

Swann puts a lot more on it when he bowls around the wicket too; pivots better and completes his action. It'd take the footmarks out of the equation though so I don't imagine he'll be doing it any time soon.

Footmarks mate, it's not India, he really needs to keep going over for mine.
