Right, am off to bed. Night all

Carberry - Not good enough. In for a long time without scoring runs.

Nice running for a couple of singles. More of the same please

What worries me is that the umpire gave that out on no sound, deviation or appeal from anyone apart from the keeper. Almost think the umpires use the technology to give batsman out as they have the chance to review when they would have previously given them the benefit of the doubt.

Time to see if Cook thinks the same. Good knock from Cook, great ball from Cockduster. Time for the rest of the England lineup to play

I understand the school of thought that if you stay there the runs will come but Carberry MUST start scoring some steady runs soon. Not saying he needs to be reckless but just needs to start being more positive and take the innings to the Aussies. If Cook gets out I fear for the run rate with...

Nah, I love ****ed up dreaming :)

Right, time for a port with some Stilton to watch the last half hour before I go to bed. Hoping I will go to bed without us losing a wicket

Great piece there on Glen McGrath. One of the best bowlers I have ever seen and a great example for young pace bowlers. Line and length boys, line and length.

Lunch. Good morning session after it started to look like we might have been damaged by the Aussie tail at the start. Pitch looks good and consistent, perfect batting wicket

Great shot from Carberry there. Helps to just take any pressure off him as although he has looked steady it can always play on your mind if you having scored any runs for 7/8 overs or so.

Edit: Carberry needs to start to play as he has been stuck on 1 for a while now. Whilst that's fine the whole time Cook is playing some strokes and scoring runs Carberry's problem has been getting our after staying on for a decent number of overs but not making many.

However much I like Prior he has been poor this series. Done little with the bat and been very much overshadowed with the gloves compared to Haddin. Bairstow deserves a crack, especially with the series lost.

Whilst I agree with you that you have to man up and deal with it as I have done playing cricket over the years, I think standing up against a former international fast pace bowler is another level and however much I dislike the prick I must say fair play for not walking after a couple of hits...

Good effort, I salute you! Regarding the cricket, postive start so far from England. Lets hope Cook and Carberry can build on this

:clap:

Agreed he was backing off but Lee was following him and hit him a few times. Lots of people would have walked out after a couple of those balls.

Newick are a horrible club in my experience of playing colts and men's 2nd team cricket but especially at the colts level. Snobbish, bad sportsmanship and rude so I'm not surprised that cock Morgan has played for them.

Final wicket goes, we needed that before we through away all the good work from yesterday. Could do with getting to 50-0 to really establish ourselves

Absolutely despise the man but fair play to him facing some serious body line bowling from one of the most brutal fast bowlers in recent times.
