    Close of play is 7.10 or 7.40 latest if they haven't bowled the alloted overs in the said time.

    Super Nelsons!

    I hope we can pick up a couple more wickets before the close of play...

    Adam must be having a great time!

    The "fish lens" camera shot between overs is basically where Adam is sitting:
    Lovely view next to the "Media Centre".

    Their bogey number is 87, I've no idea why...

    But Nelson and all it's variants is pretty universal in cricket.

    In this Test there have now been wickets to fall on 111, 222 and 333.

    That's stumps....

    Today has completely belonged to England - and especially Jimmy Anderson. I didn't think I'd be writing that after the first three overs this morning.
