Makes it worse, if Broad can get 64 can't be playing that badly :(

Plagarising the commentator's joke, India require 21 to avoid the follow on.

Four overs, three maidens, one leg bye, one wicket. Ball spitting like a cobra, India no snake charmers.

All to play for! India will be on the low now. Trent Bridge does tend to be a result pitch and good for bowlers (Hadlee luv'd it in his day at Notts).

Much may depend on if Trott is able to bat with his shoulder injury.

Disappointed not to see Pietersen make a ton. Up to Bell now to get his first test double ton... hope that doesn't put the mockers on him. Morgan is short of a decent score. Now would be good to find one.

India appealing for a run out, as ball did not go the boundary. If Bell is out this is absolutely absurd.
