Tch, looks like they will escape with a draw now doesn't it. Oh well, the chance of the whitewash is gone.

A different kind of pasty
God this is dull cricket. The pitch is so benign I think even I could bat on it. Lords groundsmen have a lot to answer for.

450 for 1 at the close?
That should put the kybosh on them! I am rubbish at predictions

Of course you can, Malcolm.
That would be more interesting for me, as well. Had to start on the beer early.

strong and stable with me, or...
Where was our big advantage after the Cardiff test?
A. Our bowling attack.
What do we do with our momentum going into the 2nd test?
A. Prepare a flat lifeless wicket.
Idiots*.
*granted the preparation for this pitch would have started before the first test, but still, they've had 4 or 5 days to get some life in this pudding.

I'll refrain from agreeing with how benign the pitch is, until we've batted!
Might not be finding out until Saturday then!

Wohoo. Just been given a ticket for tomorrow as corporate guest. Good food, free beer, sunshine and good cricket. Very pleased
Have a good feeling that we will be 2-0 at the end of this match
Hope the beer was better than the cricket. It will need a reverse of Adelaide 2006 for England to win this one.

Ha. Yes, a really tough day. We had chances but didnt take them. As you say this is now a huge chase. Rain perhaps...
It says something about the readership of the Telegraph that, according to the online poll, more people think an England win is more likely than an Australian one or a draw. I suggest you have to a brain well-pickled in port to think that
