Yes it is correct.



Marcus North currently the spinner. Can't believe this is the same Ally Cook as the one in Cardiff!

Cook gone for 95.

And two overthrows from Ponting.

Half of me wants to, half of me has no interest.

I'm following via BBC online – I'd so love to see Ponting's face at present.

Apparently, the Aussies hardly even celebrated Cook's wicket.

Bopara gone for 18

222/2

Bopara gone for 18 - curse you Lord Percy, curse you to hell...

I bloody knew it!!

I saw it was 222/1 and said to my mate at work we were bound to lose another one. Bet Shep's doing his nut!

Bopara needs to calm himself down abit. He looks to edgy when he comes in and goes for rash shots.

He's a good player but doesn't look right at number 3.

How many people has that been said of?

It's just I did one of my fingers in a similar fashion. Curiosity more than anything

Look at it this way, if I'd have said anything positive it'd have only gone even worse.

Strauss finally gets to his 100. 255/2

Is this pitch a matress like Cardiff, or are we going to see a result?

KP gone 267/3

I suspect the weather may have more of a say, very heavy rain tipped overnight and tomorrow.

302/4 Collingwood gone for 16.

FFS England, don't hand the iniative back at the end of a good day. We should have been 350-2 or maybe 3. At this rate it will be 5 or 6.

Giving the Aussies the initiative here big style, what a ridiculous shot from Collingwood especially - batted so sensibly on Sunday and then goes and does that a few days later, idiot.

321/5

Prior gone

England lost all 5 wickets for 121.

It's all going a bit Pete Tong again.

Fecking hell Freddie. Strauss is holding the fort, we need to tail to wag a bit and hopefully push towards 420+. If we lose another wicket tonight we could really struggle.

Shine a light.

Flintorf's gun (in a Tony Greig stylie lol)

364-6 at end of play with Strauss on 161.

Very good run rate but 2 or 3 wickets too many imo.

We need the tail to wag as it did in the first innings at Cardiff and it'd be great if Strauss could get to 200 for Strauss himself, his captaincy and the England squad.

All in all I think I'd say a drawn day. Hopefully we'll be able to take some wickets tomorrow now that we have the four seamers back in the team.

There's a lot of rain forecast for London for the coming days.
