Hopefully we can polish the rest of them off. Glad to see some character being shown by the WIndies.

10 wickets for Broad! clap

Interesting game this, we should be chasing a reasonable total.

In theory 250 ouught to present a challenging chase, however I am just not sure the pitch is mis behaving enough or their bowlers sufficient awkward.

But this being England - we will never make it easy

And now Jimmy comes in?! Why not just send them out in reverse order until close of play!

Typical night watchman job. Anderson has done this before to great effect.

Yeah, my point is if he was sent out in the first over... why not send him straight out?

told you we would make it hard for ourselves....

oh well hopefully Trott will make the required runs by sometime around Thursday lunch.....

obviously I would be delighted with a grinding artisans fifty of 175 balls at this point.

I'm very tempted, but really do need to do some work, however I do need to correct my work life balance. I'll probably decide after a supplier visit tomorrow morning.

Wish I could take the day off.... alas no. Should be a good atmosphere for Lord's, I reckon they'll get quite a few random barmy armyist pissheads through the doors for a run chase.
