Bye bye Bopara.

Bopara looked lost out there.

Johnson just upped his game massively in the last 30 minutes, looked really gash for the first part of the day.

Oh dear - England all out for about 250 me thinks, just after tea this evening.

Maybe McGrath got his prediction right?

Alternatively, KP and Colly do their jobs, each getting a century in the next two sessions.

I hope so, but not feeling overly confident.

I hope the sun comes out, this will help the batting and hopefully spinning later in the test.

I thought his achilles was a rush of shi t to the head and a wild swipe when going out?
