Should be a decent match. The Slinger's form has been good. Can England counter his sleight of hand?

I'll tell you what is consistent though: Cricinfo. At breaking.

Not showing the ball by ball commentary at the moment.

"I'm a big fan of Ian Bell. Love his majestic aggression. Last few years he seems to finally have cemented a place in the top order. Hope he can convert all his great promise into a great career for the years he has left I'd have his babies in a heartbeat. If he had any lead in his pencil."

Ian Bell checklist:

Soft way to get out?
After getting a start?
With a poor strike rate in the powerplay?

Opening S/Rs: 54.16, 54.05.

F*cking disgrace. It's not even funny. No, it's not surprising, but it doesn't get any less ire-inducing, IMO.

It's lovely isn't it? Teamwork. Players lower down holding the hands of their more selfish counterparts up the order. It's sort of like 'I'LL look after my wicket, YOU look after the score'.

Harmonious.
