    They do need someone to get through overs. Problem is Leach will concede a lot of runs as well.

    England are weak in the opening dept and spinning option.

    Leach is probably the best spin option but I think he will take a hammering.

    Leach took 12 wickets for 26 at 3.05 an over last time he played Australia in the UK.

    Crawley out for 189 off 182 balls.
    Fantastic knock.

    England 19 ahead with seven wickets remaining.

    All this talk of when they might declare.
    Keep the run rate up and England will lose wickets naturally.

    Great day for the England spectators.
