Andy will be here from around 10.30am. In the meantime, here's Paul Weaver on Alastair Cook's batting troubles:
Alastair Cook is in such a mess with his trigger movements that it's just as well that his instrument of choice is a cricket bat and not a Smith & Wesson.
Cook's wretched run continued here and it was another innings in which the 25-year-old gave the impression that he thinks his feet are for the sole purpose of keeping his knees off the ground.
After yet another cheap dismissal – he scored only six in seven balls against Pakistan – he has scored only 106 runs in eight Test innings this summer, at an average of 13.
In this series he has been out for eight, 12, 17, four and six, which means he has scored 47 runs in five knocks. He has batted for 36 minutes, 35, 35, 11 and seven. So we are talking about a short-order Cook here.
