KP Ton comes up - 100 lead is next milestone (or millstone for Ponting)

 

[Beach Hut]

Pietersen will hopefully really go for it once their only spinner comes on

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

KP's first play and miss of his innings

 

[1066familyman]

Looks like Bollinger has had his shave and missed a few bits.

 

[Marc]

100 lead up!

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Ha, waisted review by the Aussies and very desperate review as well

How many reviews do you get, is it per innings or over the whole test match ?

2 per innings, but if the decision is overturned because of the review the team challenging don't lose a review and would still have two left

 

[pasty]

Can't quite believe what we're seeing here. Only Englands third bat of the series, and 4, yes 4 diffent players have hit three figures.

350 up off a misfield - bad luck you Aussies!

 

[Beach Hut]

Cook out, good innings and well played

 

[Marc]

Superb Knock Cooky!


great catch mind

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Blimey, an Australian actually bowling a decent over, and Cook goes.

Still. Only fair to let some of our other batsmen have a go.

 

[Sheebo]

Batted Cook lad

 

[sam86]

Crackin' catch.

 

[1066familyman]

To be fair Harris was bowling a good over there.

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Shame

 

[pasty]

Oh FFS Cook - you're rubbish

Great catch by the keeper.

351/3

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Pietersen will hopefully really go for it once their only spinner comes on

Spin is traditionally his nemesis, but that said, he should have his eye in by now, and Doherty has been useless so far.

 

[Marc]

I'm going to Sainsburys at 2am, anyone want anything?

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Lucky Harris can't bowl for long spells

 

[Marc]

I'm going to Sainsburys at 2am, anyone want anything?

oh crap no I'm not, its not 24hr
