@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:

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

Sub continent.....?

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

[Damo]

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.

[sparky]

75 over left in the day, although they will lose 2 for the declaration.

Black Caps probably can't quite declare yet. Probably need another 5 to 10 overs. England's slow bowling rate and the 10th innings partnership looking crucial at the moment.
