if we don't get another tonight I reckon they'll put another 100 on for the last 4 wickets.

Truly inspirational fro Freddie last night. Put a bit of pride back into the England side at last. Lets hope they finish them off this morning and the batters take note and stand up and be counted.

Reminded me of that glorious day I spent at Edgbaston in 2005 when Freddie first smashed Lee and Kasper to all parts then bowled "that over" to get Langer and Ponting. Happy days indeed. Lets get back to that Fred !

Bowled them out for 314

We may want to up our run rate if we want to force a win, a draw is no good if we want to win the series

6 for 0 from 4 overs

Can understand why they are scoring slowly - they'll wait until we're level before they start even attempting to play big shots.

I know that, but we want to be on level terms asap, 70 odd runs behind now. I suspect it will take more than a day to bowl them all out, so we need a a 250+ lead at some point tomorrow, give us a chance of getting 10 wickets

A total of 350 is needed, and batting at 2 an over just doesnt help the matter if we want to force a WIN

It's interesting that with England in a bit of bother the incumbent captain and the captain-in-waiting are both at the crease. You feel that one of them has to get a century if we are to stand any chance of a victory here.

Nel's trying to wind up KP by calling him "the ego". is that supreme irony?
