    5th at Lords! It's amazing how much success he's had there, when you consider the bad luck someone like Atherton had at Lords...

    Well it is his home ground, so he's had plenty of practice.

    guess this means he gets a reprieve from all this talk of him maybe handing his captaincy over.

    yep got it wrong... meant to just put bowler. don't know where the spin came into it.
    the whole bowling attack is so non-threatening.
    having samuels out there, though he doesn't let too many runs go, unless one of our batsman make a complete hash of it i cant see him getting anybody out.

    Bloody hope not. I'm hoping they will be about 150-4 at the close. Scores level.
    Meaning tomorrow, when I'm there, they score another 150, leaving us chasing 150, which we knock off by 6pm.

    36/2 a wicket for Bresnan and one for Broad, both openers out.

    ...and Kirk Edwards follows them back to the hutch.

    Run-out for 0 by Bairstow, a good bit of fielding.

    They are in and look like they won't be going anywhere for a while. Chanderpaul has been like glue

    Talented player Samuels.

    The pitch looks pretty dead, once the shine has gone off the new ball there's not much to do apart from wait or try and force a mistake.

    chanderpaul is so patiant. never takes any risky shots. boycott asking for the ball to be pitched up. have to agree with him by the sounds of it. the new ball hasn't done much as of yet.

    though samuels is out he played a great innings. first time ive seen him playing to the level that people have told me he can play at. 86 from 172 balls.

    326/9, ramdin out, England need 171 as it stands. for a tenner, it'll be worth popping down
