Great efforts from Cook, Broad, Root & Ali who let the less experienced players down. I would leave Cook & Broad out of the NZ test series and see if they still have the desire and form at the start of the Summer to play for England again.

Well five wickets before lunch, can’t be bad! Even Boycott’s upbeat.

Then six and seven straight after lunch. Gonna stick with this until tea at 35-0 and Cook’s just creamed a beautiful cover drive. Did I really just say that? 😀

Tempted to say too little too late. Why do we come to the party when the series is decided?

Definitely too little too late. Do well to win one of these tests yet.

Massive well done to Cook, and slightly less effusive well done to Broad: both shown they're not finished yet.
The too little too late is, I think, too simplistic: whole lot of other reasons across the squad - but no doubting they've not produced (along with the rest of them) whilst the series was live. I think they've both fully acknowledged that but it shouldn't detract - double century and best bowling figures for a year aren't easy things to do.
Need another good day to set up win though. Be interesting to see if we bat on - can't see it lasting long if we do but might just disrupt Aussie batting prep a wee while?
Looking forward to tonight!

Just watched highlights of Cookies innings. Some fantastic shots. Great concentration, 10 hours in the middle. Shame it took four tests. .

No justice. I MISS all of day three and then get up just after lunch on day four and it’s bloody raining!

Definitely a damp squib! Going to be tough to win now I think.

Watched the morning session, which shows that it will be difficult to take all 10 wickets to set up a win. A little bit of "dubious" tactics with the ball trying to enhance reverse swing. We should be above tat!
