Looks like a decent day for batting.

After the first hour... England 37-0 (15 overs)

Steady.

England batsmen trying to send the opposition to sleep, I think that is 34 consecutive dot balls. 43-0 after 22 overs. IPL it ain't!

Krusty · May 16, 2013

Compton gone... poor shot... 43-1

Maybe Trott will wake things up a bit?

Steady.

Krusty · May 16, 2013

Captain Cook gone... good low catch from the keeper BJ Watling... 67-2

Compton seems to be one of those batsmen that gets bogged down and then snaps and loses his wicket. It used to happen with Ramprakash and Hick I recall. I'm looking forward to seeing what Joe Root can do, I fancy he may be a future opener with Cook.

Blimey this is TURGID. :yawn:

Testing even the most avid aficianado of Test Match cricket.

84-2 (42 overs)

Trott 21* Bell 9*

I think that's always been the plan with regards to Root. He would have opened earlier had Compton not come good in the recent series. Root and Cook I think are going to be one of the great opening partnerships in international cricket.

Conversely Sussex are in full one day mode and losing wickets as they go - I wish we were 91-2!

The most entertaining thing so far since lunch was Michael Holding talking about the groundsman at Lord's... Mick Hunt.

98/2 after 46 overs.

Krusty · May 16, 2013

England 99-2 (48 overs) :yawn:

Trott 32* Bell 13*

Krusty · May 16, 2013

Trott gone... 112-3 (53.5 overs!)

Great catch in the slips by Brownlie.

Batting so slowly has put pressure on the middle order...

Krusty · May 16, 2013

This is a TIRESOME performance by ENGLAND today...

123-3 (61.4 overs)

LESS THAN 2 runs per OVER :yawn:

Krusty · May 16, 2013

Another TEDIOUS 12 overs drift away...

144-3 (73 overs)

1.98 runs per over.

SHOCKING :yawn:

Typical Bell dismissal chasing a nothing delivery......

158-4

Krusty · May 16, 2013

160-4 (80 overs)

Rain stops 'play'.
