302/4 Bell holes out trying to hit a 6 with a mis-cue

Bell gone. 302/4

And if the Kiwi wicket keeper had been 2 inches taller KP would have gone 2 balls before that.

5 down. Root gone for 10. 325/5

 

[Benson]

Get a good day's play in, Pasty!

On a different note: does anyone else find the new BBC live scorecards just wrong, wrong, wrong !!! when the minutes at the crease number comes before the balls faced total? It's, umm, just not right IMO.

Lunch:-

England 353/5 (120 ov)
Pietersen 68 no
Prior 15 no

 

[pasty]

Lunch. 353/5

Like to see KP and Prior push on after lunch and get the run rate up a tad. Lots of talk about rain affecting day 4 and 5, so could be a big factor.

They were moving along quite nicely in the run-up to lunch.

Current partnership 28 runs, 7.0 overs, RR: 4.00 (Pietersen 13, Prior 15)

I have a huge soft spot for New Zealand, the morning after my nuptials at the Dudley Hotel, I had breakfast with Richard Hadlee as they were playing at Hove - excellent start to married life.

Oh and Mrs Hut had no clue who the great man was

True. Just hope it continues now. Bit of a bonus managing to stay awake through lunch. Usually fall asleep and wake up at tea

Was it an arranged marriage, then? I'm sure she knew who Sir Richard Hadlee was.
