A Scrapbook Match

The Pakistan boys can fold that one up and tuck it away in the scrap book because it is one they will look back on with a smile in years to come.

Fear The Beard

Roooooot!

250 reasons to smile.

My Ball, Your Wicket

Adil Rashid wins this round.

Welcome Back KP

Tall, Dark And Solid

Captain Cook scores another hundred, and very easy he makes it look.

Flower Power

Andy Flower gets a little psychedelic while contemplating his teams 3 - 0 stuffing in the Middle East.

Perhaps a hookah pipe or two might help focus his mind?

O' To Be In England...

... now that winters here.

KP would appear to wish himself anywhere, but out.

Only at Lord's could the whole ground be covered in snow without a blemish on it - it's all about standards you know.

On Behalf Of All Batsman

Ian Bell expresses the pain of dismissal.

It is especially painful when it just keeps happening all the time.

More Monty

I am sorry, but I just don't seem to be able to resist a good shot of Monty. If the whole spin bowling thing doesn't work out there must be a host of opportunities in character roles for him.

Big Body, Small (of the) Back

Even big guys like Chris Tremlett have their weaknesses. Ankles, knees and backs - always likely to let you down at just the wrong time.

Words To Live By

What Are You Looking At?

Which to be unfair to KP is a pretty reasonable question?

The Gentle Art Of Avoidance

As practiced against the surprise bouncer from Afridi.

Eoin Morgan appears to be on strong medication or have achieved a type of nirvana - possibly both.

Akmal has finally found a situation where he can not be blamed for missing the ball.

How Sweet It Is!

And who could blame young Mohammad Amir for celebrating? It's not like anything really comes easy for the Pakistan boys.

Riaz'zle Dazzle

Not a bad first innings from the new boy. Big and strong he hits the deck hard and looks like he could carry a fair work load. It will be intersting to see if he can develop into the perfect compliment to the swing twins.

Caption Time Again

As Prince once sang "it's a sign of the times".

Conquerors of Swing

While the bowlers have the great figures it was perhaps the two century makers who were most crucial to England's victory.

And to the victors go the stumps.
