Sounds like they've started very well, need to be ruthless and kill 'em off now.

I might try to find a video stream later, we don't get SBS here never mind anything fancier
I got foxtel last year so the little one could watch the EPL and A-League games, but the added bonus is I get to watch England play cricket. The other good thing is I can watch it live on my iPad.

Broad is bowling absolute jaffas at the moment! Seems to be back to his best again

Dont think they should have followed on. Maybe weather played a part
Couple more wickets before stumps could change my mind.

If only England could get over this habit of underperforming in the first test of a series but I guess it does lull the opposition into a false sense of security.

A feast of sport today. Formula 1 - qualifying rained off, parts 2 and 3 are on at 11.00 EST Sunday.

If I heard it correctly, test debutante Shikhar Dhawan fastest test century? 100 of 85 balls. All good anyway.

In the other match, Broad takes 6.

Dhawans figures are absolutely incredible. Has there ever been such disparity between the 2 opening batsmen. Not knocking Vijay but 83 0ff 183 compared to 185 off 168. Just watched the highlights. Some cracking shots in there as well. More destructive even than Sehwag.
