If they bat then it will also be a decent test to see who deserves the number 1 ranking. Shouldn't be decided on the toss of a coin after all ... I think I might find a live video stream and drug the missus to bypass all that family chatting nonsense

Slow start but if England can tough it out for the rest of the day conditions will get easier.

Proper cricket, not this 20/20 bollocks ...

Hopefully this doesn't signify that Cook's run has come to an end.

Paul Tufnell commentating on test match special:

Doctor doctor, I can't stop stealing things.

Take these pills and if after a week they don't work, can I have a T.V?

Cook'll be fine, a mere blip

Tuffers is always value for money, the game needs more of that ... 'Hey Tufnell, can I have your brain? I'm building an idiot' ... Can't beat a bit of mindless Aussie sledging.

It is not as good as when Tufnell asked an Aussie umpire how many balls were left in the over and got the reply 'Count them yourself you Pommy ***t' ... Wouldn't happen these days

And he went on:

Doctor, I think I'm a cat.

How long has this been going on?

Ever since I was a kitten.

Peterson seems to be settling now.

Pietersen needs to pace himself, he's great but needs to consolidate right now 'cos batting conditions will get much better later ...

My nickname was 'the cat' many moons ago ... regarding my sleeping habits I think rather than my genital-licking ability.

100 - 2. Not bad in the circs. Late start, overcast conditions. The forecast for the weekend is good.

Not a bad battling start by England, I'd wager India would have been a few more down in those conditions if they were batting.

Yup, weather forecast is better from here so let battle continue

Kept getting woken up by 5 Live in my lughole until I realised it wasn't playing commentary and had switched to the 'adverts'.
