Alec Stewart
Former England captain Alec Stewart on TMS: "Looking at the cracks in the pitch, if England can get to 450 or 500, I think they may only have to bat once in this game"

1046: The Test Match Special crew are up and running - CMJ, Michael Vaughan and Alec Stewart are surprised at how much the cracks in the pitch have opened up.

Get involved on 606
From Silk on 606: "Fully expect these two to push on and make big scores. Indeed, wouldn't bet against a Morgan double ton. Pakistan didn't look threatening with the new ball last night. Unless they can get their heads up straight away this morning, and realise they are still very much in the game, it will run away from them quickly"

1032: A friend sent me a message after close of play yesterday asking "So, has the Dubliner done enough to go to Oz?". I'd say that if he's not quite on the plane yet, he's certainly sitting in the departure lounge with a freshly-printed boarding pass. But who can honestly say they're definitely on the plane? Captain Strauss and his co-pilot Andy Flower are up in the cockpit reviewing the passenger list. Graeme Swann's on the plane (and his Twitter buddy James Anderson - the pair of them are probably distracting the stewardesses while Swann slips whoopee cushion under the seat he expects Tim Bresnan to occupy), while Stuart Broad is looking for a seat in the exit row where there's more leg-room. Colly's on the plane, naturally, but a few of the others may have to wait for their name to be called. (Poor old Ravi Bopara, meanwhile, is stuck back in the stand-by line at check-in). Who else do you think can confidently expect to make the flight?

1025: Morning, everyone. A new day - and possibly a new dawn for England's middle order after Eoin Morgan's excellent century yesterday. "Absolutely the innings we wanted to see from Morgan," notes Jonathan Agnew in his column on the website last night - worth a read if you haven't seen it already, while you've still got time to have a listen to Aggers and Geoff Boycott's verdict on yesterday's play in the TMS Podcast before play starts.
