The same side for the 5th test in a row, first time since the 1800's. Do you think Sven picks the side?

McCullum can't keep wicket because of his bad back so that will upset the balance of the Kiwi side even more.
Not sure inserting us is the right thing to do...Eng to win by 150 runs...

You got to love all the pre match talk about getting 400+ and the top 6 batsmen to fire big scores, then Cook comes in and leaves again on 8 :thud:


The has been a result within 4 days in every game at Trent Bridge this season, the highest score hasnt got past 300, and the highest score this season there is some thug called M J Prior with the only century

84-2 at lunch. Honours even in the first session.

250 wouldn't be a bad score, 300 would be great, 350 plus and we'd be in the box seat.

1346: WICKET - Collingwood c Taylor b Mills 0, Eng 86-5

Let's look on the bright side here - at least we won't be stuck watching Bell and Colly scrabble all afternoon like men who've dropped their contact lenses. Collingwood prods forward like a man who's never held a bat before and gets a fat edge to tumbling Taylor at first slip.

From Beau Merchant, TMS inbox: "When Strauss was caught, a piece of Kit-Kat fell out of my mouth onto my t-shirt. It's melted. I now have to go to the hairdressers with chocolate on my t-shirt. Thanks Strauss."

1346: WICKET - Bell lbw O'Brien 0, Eng 85-4

Moans of dismay come from those same agaped mouths as Bell goes for a quacker, trapped bang in front with one speared in by O'Brien. The bowler kisses his own hand and waves his other at the sunny sky, and Bell trudges off without removing his lid. The shame, the shame... Still - no need to panic - here comes Collywoo... oh...

1342: WICKET - Strauss c Taylor b Mills 37, Eng 84-3

What was that? Strauss, his mind clearly still on the lunch-time dressing-room spread, thrashes wildly at a wide one and edges into Taylor's grateful palms at second slip. Shocked silence at Trent Bridge - mouths are agape around the ground, wet balls of white bread and cucumber hanging off bottom lips.
