Not watched a ball. What is pitch like? Bad batting on a flattish pitch or has it turned a bit?
Lots of turn, slow though, odd one keeps low. Basically what you would expect on day 3 or 4 not 1. Will be tough to bat last if it deteriorates so anything over 200 will be hard to get.

Hardness of ball is important, looked easier as the session went on and ball got softer.

What have all these DRS decisions for Moeen been like? Is the (on-field) umpiring just really poor, or has he been lucky? He might as well cash in before going to India

It is turning lots so it is hard for the umpires. Though the ones that pitched outside leg stump were poor.

The three I saw were pretty woeful umpiring decisions - haven't seen the one that happened before I woke up where he apparently dodged a bullet because the Banglas didn't review it

I feel a bit sorry for Nick Knight - after being underrated as a batsman he suffers the same fate behind the microphone - happen a few lessons from Howe are needed?
After listening to some of the podcasts, Howe does very similar to Knight.

Shafiul spearing in these cutters into Bairstow's pads is not a good plan. It's just going to result in a bunch of leg side twos. Maybe the plan is to tire him out from running so much.

Judging from the comms today I take it Dharmasena is getting to Bucknor levels of senile.

Good catch and some debut. If he is the real deal all of a sudden Bangladesh become a different proposition with 2 real quality spinners in the side.

Excellent partnership, game about even now.

Won't judge the wicket until both sides have batted, but I'd suggest England are meandering their way to significantly below-par score unless we can gt past 300. Need another good partnership and a 70+ score from Bairstow.

No idea what a good score is, think it clear our pacemen will do better than theirs but their spinners are better than ours so it evens up a bit. I do think that 200+ in 4th innings will be tough given the amount of turn already.
