Some superb photos here:

The second one is the most striking but that may just be because I've been reading about Verdun. Alistair Horne's 'The Price of Glory' if anyone is interested.

India all out for 330 then
at 11:24 30 Jul 2014

England 239 ahead. That's a very good bowling performance on this pitch.

England will need to score quickly if they want to win it, Cook will want another 200 runs but we need to be bowling again today. No chance of the follow on with Broad and Anderson playing so much cricket at the moment.

Not all of the current photos add anything but, those of the front lines do. All interesting anyway.

Well it would be if not quite so unsavoury:

There's some evidence to suggest that America did similar in justifying the Iraq invasion and it's aftermath.

Given current and recent form, that looks unlikely. If ever there was a time for Cook to find some form.....
