How did we bowl yesterday? The scorecard suggests that we didn't make the most of conditions, but I didn't catch any of it.

Anderson bowled well, we dropped two catches and Broad was poor despite the two catches going down off him

I can't see us bothering with day/night tests in future, weather isn't right for it here as it stays light too long and at the times when it will be dark enough early enough it will be too cold and the dew problem would be too great. Ideal for places like UAE where there are no crowds and they may get some but no point in England.

Yes, that was my impression from the round of county day/nighters that they had in preparation for this. It is freezing and just doesn't work. It is alright sitting for two-three hours in those conditions for a Twenty20 but not seven-eight hours. More people were leaving rather than arriving. Also everybody seemed confused about the intervals, and it just didn't feel right.

Might be too late in the season. You should try holding them in that non-rainy June.

The light is an issue though as it doesn't get dark early enough.

Then try moving about 10° further south. An outboard at the top of Scotland'l do it.

Actually, I'd take someone averaging 27 alongside Cook right now.
But 5 works too. Anyone know what he's averaging for the season?

Fair play they are crap. Hope they show some fight and actually prove they have a brain between them too or this is going to be a poor series to watch.
Nonsense, half crowd by me went before tea when it was dry.
Nobody moved before it started chucking it down
