Williams looking really uncomfortable against the pace.

That’s just his glass back causing discomfort

I just looked that up. You can mow the pitch, but under umpire supervision. They made a point of saying they took 2mm off the grass. Not sure dry grass grows 2mm overnight?
Without doubt it's moving around more this morning. It might be a morning thing, like in Zim, and they're bowling much better areas this morning.

[Googly]

If they take another 2mm off before tomorrow they're onto clay.
Ervine dropped. Not moving his feet. Lucky.

Ervine going a bit hard at the ball here

I know I'm labouring a point here, but that 2mm seems to have made a difference to my eye. These are unbelievably difficult batting conditions. I'm surprised they're not bowling seam from both ends, that's where it's all happening, it's not turning much.

Lights on at 10 in the morning is unusual as well.

[Googly]

There's not a lot of batting after Wes, who's in next. Tsiga was the better option.
These two need to get us to their total.

[Googly]

Really surprised they've taken the short leg out!

With Madhevere out there, Bangladesh is now into the tail
