2nd npower test Lords 16th-21st july

[Titanic]

Bopara gone for 18... LBW... after several Hilfenhaus outswingers... this one nipped back... and it looks plumb.

England chew-chweny-chew for chew.

 

[NF9]

Ravi......

 

[sam86]

Bopara out! (of the squad, not this innings)

 

[CHAPPERS]

Silly boy. Big chance for runs there.

 

[Mellotron]

I'd rather Colly coming in now than KP...

 

[Mendoza]

Come on Strauss, almost there!!

 

[Titanic]

Ponting misses a shy at all three stumps from 15 yards... 4 more overthrows... 236-2

 

[The Tassie Seagull]

Need to go to bed but want to see Strauss get his ton! Have crappy Gr5 kids tomorrow (well later today actually)

 

[Titanic]

KP survives a dodgy top edge from a pull from Hilfenhaus... drops safely in no-mans-land.

 

[Titanic]

Andrew Strauss 100*

 

[Titanic]

Tea: England 255-2 (62 overs)

Strauss 100* Pietersen 22*

129 runs for 2 wickets in the session.

 

[The Tassie Seagull]

YESSSS can go to bed a happy man now.

 

[Trigger]

Well done Andrew

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Bopara out! (of the squad, not this innings)

I've asked the question on the Sussex baord, but how did the Essex Mafia on sky deal with Bopara's failure? Or did they (perhaps) gloss over it (as he's not a Sussex player, after all)?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Well played.

 

[El Presidente]

Meanwhile, Steve Harmison has 1-1 off EIGHT overs for Durham

 

[Mendoza]

Meanwhile, Steve Harmison has 1-1 off EIGHT overs for Durham

seven maidens, SHOCKING!

 

[Titanic]

KPs come out with INTENT... 2 driven fours off Siddle's first over after tea.

265-2

 

[Titanic]

and he's OUT.. caught behind... fine edge to an outswinger from Siddle... Haddin manages to catch this one.

267-3

 

[NF9]

KP Gone.
