@snowy you mean just dispense with the margin of error consideration? Fair enough. Would that mean tv review of every decision though? Again, no argument from me but it'd take time

Yes to the reviews from teams or umps. Not every decision.

Also yes to the game position.

[Siam]

@snowy we'd have to review every single appeal though wouldn't we?

Sub continent.....?

@voodoo bat for one session, use 2 to roll them i guess

Will be fun whatever the result!

Set them 300+ to win. Lots more cloud today so the ball will swing.

Possibility of rain and dodgy light this afternoon that might come to England's rescue:

I edited that for clarity. Not every decision. Just the reviews.

England's ridiculous review earlier cost them a review which would have been successful.

I would have put in De Grandhomme ahead of Watling.

Yep. We don't need to bat for time, just runs, to have a crack at a win. We can shut up shop if we need to and BJ would be the man if CDG has failed. If it worked we could be on for a win.

Taylor gone 133 for 5. Lead 236.

[sparky]

Lead up to 252.

@sparky I can tell by the way these guys are playing this that they're going to set a less challenging target than I'm comfortable with!

300 off 70?

[sparky]

Fragile looking England batting line up. Heavy cloud cover. 5th day pitch. I think England are in for a tough 60 overs or so.

[sparky]

Umbrellas out. Light rain at Lords.

[sparky]

Nicholls out for 23. Skied a reverse sweep. 159 for 6. Lead of 262.

[Snowy]

I do wish that they would have a proper go. Nobodies going to blame you for getting out. We are pretty safe.

[sparky]

Big hitting from big Colin!

[sparky]

Covers on. Players off. Early lunch.

[Snowy]

Yes, thanks Col. Read my post.

[sparky]

169 for 6. Lunch. Lead of 272.

[No Quarter]

Annoying as Colin had just got one out of the middle.
