[tedebear]

Starting to look like a good decision!

 

[dougdeep]

164/3.

 

[dougdeep]

174/4. We haven't won this yet.

 

[sam86]

KP gone. Time to step it up a bit and declare at the end of the day I reckon.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

super matty prior ONCE AGAIN showing everyone else how it's done

he must get sick of constantly CARRYING the england team

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

What would be a good lead to defend? 500+?

 

[pasty]

50 for Matt.

 

[sam86]

Well done Matty! :yahoo:

 

[sam86]

What would be a good lead to defend? 500+?

At this rate, I'd try get to 550 and declare with a few overs left today.
If one of these two get out, 520 will be OK.

 

[Mendoza]

I wish Hussain was commentating whilst Prior was batting. He must be livid! TEST match, 50 runs off under 40 balls. Disgraceful!!!

 

[Beach Hut]

Great batting by Prior

 

[sam86]

I wish Hussain was commentating whilst Prior was batting. He must be livid! TEST match, 50 runs off under 40 balls. Disgraceful!!!

He'll no doubt come back the over Prior gets out.

 

[sam86]

Oh wow. That is so unlucky.

 

[pasty]

Bugger.

 

[pasty]

Right then. Fireworks time. Come on Freddie.

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

oops.

 

[pasty]

Declare at 500 lead and bowl at them tonight.

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Much more fun since Bopara & Pietersen buggered off

 

[Lady Whistledown]

Rain stops play...looks like it's over for today at least.

They're debating a potential declaration on TMS- 98 overs to be played in each of the next two days, so plenty of time for a team to get 500+, interesting one for Strauss.
