3 down at lunch would have been par. England on top for now.

England probably should have gone with Victor Richardson's advice here.

Good to see Sam Gamgee getting a bowl.

No, he didn't. That's why he skied it. Got it on the up. It was the wrong shot to the wrong ball.

Nice jumper, Ricky.

Thought Rogers was going to dig in for lunch?

England sure have natty shoes.

Actually, it was Anderson's spell he was comparing to Akram.

Except he explained it wrong!

I didn't like it either. And I positively don't like KP. Guy looked like a tool.

Enjoying Geoff Boycott giving it to England on the BBC coverage. He really is a miserable bugger. Got to say though...not at all confident of our ability to capitalise on our advantage here. England rallied every time we had a good day last series. And our batting is brittle, to say the least.

Don't understand the hatred of Broad. He's an excellent bowler and very capable with the bat. And, despite his pretty boy looks, he has plenty of guts. Always gets behind the ball, takes his knocks without histrionics. Seems a class act from my point of view.

Not sure this is a pitch you ever feel settled on.

0/101! Who predicted that?

Perfect! Might have to put at Bellerive though if we want to see it over the stands.

Cute castle. Can we have one of those over here?

If you take away all the one-eyed name-calling on here, thread would be about four pages long.

Me too.

Nice shot but can't help thinking of Warne's comments about being hit for six.

Not sure it's cause for celebration.

Certainly is. And spot on. I have no problem with an umpire giving not outs if there is some doubt. Better that a hundred guilty men walk free than a single innocent goes to the gallows. Umpires will always make errors (some more than others) and they should always be on not outs.

Not going to manage a meaningful lead here. Advantage is back with the Poms.

There is no difference. All this carry on calling Broad a cheat is stupid.

Not sure why they took Swann off. Sids and Harris look pretty comfortable against the seamers.

Pull shot came off but my first reaction was 'Oh no!' This is not a pitch for cross bat stuff. Happy to see runs scored in ones and two with nudges and pushes.

Think we're bowling ok here. Plenty of pressure on Cook and Trott. They're not finding it easy. People finding it boooooring can hold on for the IPL.

Bugger. Reckon Bell might have been bothered by that if he'd had to bat on.

If they're going to announce every maiden over....

To be fair, Beefy slagged off the English for it too.

Not getting it ON the wicket. Therefore terrible.
