I write as England plummet towards ignominious defeat - six down and 68 runs behind.
This has been nothing less than a huge disgrace.
England have lost every session played and this game will surely end on Day Three.
The England batsmen have been pathetic.
The experienced bowlers have bowled like a pub team.
The fielding has been poor.
Intelligence has been lacking on every level.
The captaincy has not been up to the expected standards.
Apart from these five trivial items - everything else has been fine!
PATHETIC! Embarrassing.
End of play: BUT - well done to Bess and Buttler for putting on a stand of 125 and giving England an improbable reprieve from defeat by an innings.
The situation still leaves England in a losing position - but warm thoughts burst through as two batsmen showed some discipline.
Sadly, I suspect that the new ball will find out the batsmen 7 & 8 tomorrow!
(Finally, England win a session.)
