A couple of quick wickets, 5 down for 276, a decent position but England need to push on while the batting conditions remain good.

Will be interesting to see how the bowlers get on, advantage England so far.

Typical England though...riding high then they lose it.

Nice to see the dressing gown back again.

What exactly have they lost? Are you really English or just doing an impression of a defeatist Pom? The fact that England produce any competitive sportsmen is a wonder given the 'yeh but they'll lose' attitude.

Seriously, get behind them, it's 1 vs 2 in the World ... <sighs>

I'm sure you have followed English Cricket almost as long as I have. I just seem to remember more lack lustre performances than good ones. But I stand to be corrected.

They are going quite well again now though.

Yup, Seen plenty of shite but times have moved on ... I think it's time to drift off to kip with TMS. Shame I'll be asleep as they amass a decent total ...

Not bad at all, an agressive declaration too, good to see.

Fair play to KP for his knock.

Now it's Jimmy Time.

It has to be up there with his best innings, not from a blood and thunder point of view but the way he paced himself. A <cliche on>pivotal day for the series</cliche off> tomorrow.
