The expected has happened. England bowlers threw up before Smith and M Marsh. I had written on Cook in my earlier post that he may consider his time to quit; it came through again. He hit a boundary of a short ball and in the very next one, dipping on his leg, got plump LBW. Joe Root is another disappointment. Moin Ali could neither take wickets not score runs. Steward Broad, when needed to play just about two hours to force a draw, played just one ball to get out. But this match gave Malan, the future no. 3 for England and opener Stoneman. Let them find a wrist spinner from the county circuit and regroup.
