Cook is prolific. Fantastic player.
I'm surprised with Pietersen not scoring. I thought he'd be good against these attacks. Likes playing against sub-continent teams.
I just don't understand Morgan's inclusion.
I hear Pakistan keep failing to refer wicket-taking decisions. That's a bit silly. If they were more switched on they might've had the upper hand. As it stands, England are edging it - another 100 runs or so will make for a very interesting game.
207-5 at the close
"(Ben) Hilfenhaus said something to me that was totally unnecessary out of the blue, he wasn't even bowling or anything," Kohli said."I survived that run out and he said something I can't repeat, I gave it back to him, saying 'you didn't even have anything to do with it, why would you say that?'
"Then Ishant (Sharma) and me both started saying stuff to them and they got really pissed, I guess. I like to play my cricket like that. I like to give it back."
Kohli claimed the Australian players were trying to put him off his game through their sledging.
"They sledge when they get frustrated, and obviously it was hot out there, and they were sledging us to ruin our concentration and during that partnership, they were really, really low," he said.
Kohli also criticised the behaviour of the boisterous 35,000 crowd on the Australia Day national holiday.
"In Sydney, they were after me because I hadn't scored any runs, and today they were pissed because I got a hundred. It hasn't changed but the reason has," he said.
Kohli was fined 50 percent of his match fee after making a finger gesture to the crowd during the second Sydney Test over the New Year period.
"It is really, really frustrating at times, they say things which shouldn't be said on a cricket field.
"If they come here to enjoy a game of cricket, they should do that and not get drunk and abuse cricket players. It's not fair, if the players say anything they're fined and banned."

He's a hothead...but whatever works for him. No one wants a team of midgets with gay voices. Very good innings from what I saw of the highlights. It's a rare positive from this tour, but at least a young batsman is finding his feet. Progressively improved his innings' each time. It's just a shame that no one was proactive enough to give Rohit Sharma a go too.
Eoin Morgan is a waste. That's one spot which someone from the Lions squad should be filling. Guess they were worried about playing spin.
Just corrected your little mistake thereOriginally Posted by Dennis Bendtner
True enough.
Mudhsuden is doing the job. Pakistan three down and still a deficit. Should be a comfortable win from here.
Monty gets Misbah.
56-4 currently.
Pakistan worked their way to around a 60 run lead. But England firm favourites from here.
Panesar has done the trick.
Funny how multiculturalism works for cricket. Panesar feels right at home with these subcontinent pitches.
Impressive work by England&SA.
Aussies win by 298 runs
Sehwag scored a quick fire 60 odd in the innings of the Test though
