83-0 at tea.
Strauss is in danger of getting a good score.
:faint:
Strauss and Cook both move on to 50's.
:bow:
122-1, Strauss goes for 61. :rolleyes:
England are 154-1 at stumps.
Pretty decent day for England. Nice and steady it seems :d
Great day for England. They have to aim to only bat once but even a lead of 100+ will put them in a comfortable position.
In other news, village filth of the IPL variety starts today. ITV4 has the coverage, starts at 2:45pm. Tendulkar's Bombay vs. Dhoni's Madras.
I finally have ITV4 in my room so can watch this in its entirety
Real cricket :bow:
Just read that the 2 millionth Test run was scored yesterday by Mahela Yossarian whatever. Feel sorry for whoever had to count that up
Sounds delicious.Quote:

Hope hes ok
England on 315-3
Cook went for 94, and Trott followed him after putting on 64.
KP is on 77, and Bell seems to be settling in too.
Looking alright tbf :d
KP moves on to 90.
Ah ok, 96. :lol:
Buffet bowling from Dilshan. KP is annoying them with the switch hit.
:haha:
KP keeps going for it, Dilshan keeps pulling up. Umpires have given KP a warning I think.
KP gets a test century again. :bow:

347-4, Bell goes for 18. :doh:
Hmmm. What lead is required do you think?
100 lead by the end of the day should be possible. And we should really have enough wickets in hand to bat until lunch at least....
Hmmmm
Bell goes. Fuck that shit I just wrote.
Ignoring what just happened, I'd say anything upwards of 200 should be enough, at least enough to give England a comfortable chase. By the end of today, I think it should be well over 120, if KP and Prior stay in.Quote:

352-4 at tea.
KP banned from using the switch hit :lol:
:blink:
Why is he banned from playing a certain kind of shot?
Umpires :doh:
It's more to do with the changing of hands before the ball is released, as I read it.Quote:

Well saidQuote:
Andrew Chillman on Twitter: "Jayawardene 105 from 313 balls. KP 105 from 112 balls. KP warned for timewasting. Eh?"
380-5, Prior went for glory. :rolleyes:
The lead is 119 now. :lol:
150 for KP. :bow:
Um so whats the problem? Hes cleraly ready if hes scoring runsQuote:
MCC STATEMENT ON KP SWITCH-HITTING ROW
"Law 42.10 states that a batsman should be ready to take strike once the bowler is ready to start his run up (which Pietersen clearly was). If he is not then the umpire should warn him as the first and final warning. If he isn't ready again then the umpire should award five penalty runs to the fielding side."
411-6, KP goes.
And with him, all hope
