    11.15am start I hear because the Queen is being introduced to the teams

    Anyone. Know how that affects the sessions

    Surely she could have got up 15 mins earlier rather than making us all fry in the sun

    Yeah, because you've never had a reign delayed start to a match before.

    Hope you enjoyed the marvellous reception and atmoshpere.

    No sign of the Queen and apparently she left after an hour .... Well worth the 15 minute delay
    Why are you complaining, I'm sure you used that 15 minutes well estimating the size of the away support. ;-)

    I think we cocked it up yesterday. It was Australia's day for sure. I'm surprised the Aussies weren't playing more leggies, however crap. Essex's Tom Craddock tore through England, and he isn't all that good.

    I still can't believe Broad gets a nightwatchman!

    We need at least another 100 runs, and I can't see it happening, unless Swann "does an Agar".

    I always like the second day of a Test - in theory you should see both teams bat and all is still up in their air regarding the direction of the match.

    Damned if they did, damned if they don't. If Broad had gone out to bat and lasted an over then everyone would be wondering why a nightwatchman wasn't used. As it was the new ball was taken and hopefully Anderson will hang around for a few overs.

    The guy chosen for his batting. Just leaving the office for a corporate day at Lords with one of the broadcasters. Looks like I will have a day of watching the Aussies smash us round the park. Thats a 400+ wicket there.

    The proof of Bresnan's pudding should be in his bowling. It's not as if Finn is a great batsman.

    I'd settle for 350 now. Don't expect it.

    happy with this considering the start we had. Up to broad and swann now to take the momentum away from the aussies a bit and score some quick runs.

    On the one hand these runs are welcome...but we'll have to bowl on this wicket soon.

    Siddle and Pattinson combined are 0 - 166. If someone did not know the score would think we were 500 - 2

    Agree. A bit short, but I've given up making predictions this series, and both sets of batsmen have been suicidal.

    This series is building up to be a cracker, as both teams have moments of brilliance and moments where they throw it all away, so there's been very few days when one team is completely dominant.

    Not if he left Lincs at 8am. Bumble said yesterday, there was a queue at 8am from St Johns Wood stn to the ground.

    I'm watching without sound at work. Just saw the replay and his heel looked on the line?! What is the rule with no balls?

    The whole of the front foot must be over the line when the foot lands.
    No, on the line is a No Ball. Part of the foot raised or flat must be behind the crease.
