Great knock from Prior. Time for a burst for those of us born & bred: 'Good old Sussex by the sea. Good old Sussex by the sea!'

I concur

I am hanging in there. Wanted to see a few English bowls as well, but looking unlikely as I was aiming to be in bed by 00:30! G'wan Swanny.

Did I just hear that right....thats the first time EVER in cricket history that the 6th, 7th & 8th wicket partnership have been 100+ in the same innings?

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Johnson bowling and Swann batting, with Prior well in too: should be fun
