I’m not saying nowt, me.

Looks like England have avoided the follow on.

Blowers is staying just down the road from where i used to live, nice hotel, great food

100 up

Steady start to the morning. Would like to see the openers pile on a few, centuries apiece perhaps.

Trundling along nicely so far. 350 – 5 by the close? Oh hang on I forgot Bopara is playing. 350 – 6 then. 🙂

150-0

Lots of cheese in the TMS box today.

Vaughan only turns up for the freebees

lead by 15 with only 1 down 😀

Bell out now. Cookie’s chuntering along nicely, though.

We’re in trouble now – 28/2

peterson vs leg spinner….. should be interesting

Seems in reasonable touch so far.

Just getting interesting…

becoming a bit of a massacre.

KP is filling his boots

150/3

India are being destroyed. It’s no longer a contest.

We’ll win this series 4-0.

to tell you the truth I am disappointed – its not a good contest.

I wanted to see something like the 2005 ashes – which is probably the best series for a long time. Instead its a disappointing capitulation from India.

Oh, FFS! I agree with TJ! 😉

India look very lacklustre, ’tis true. Which is a shame.

But then, you can only beat the team you’re playing, and we’re certainly doing that!

I agree TJ. Wanted a decent series not a procession.

We need to declare over night, get them in and skittle them all out by tea tomorrow

Good morning everybody 🙂

What will today bring. Give the forecast for rain tonight and overcast all day tomoz (on the beeb anyway), I reckon we’ll bat all day and declare either overnight or with an hour’s play left today.

3-0 by tea tomorrow!

I think a declaration may come sooner than that if the runs keep flowing at the rate they were yesterday.

don’t think they’ll declare before tea.

Im wondering about popping up to Edgbaston tomorrow to watch the carnage…what chance tickets you think?

46 extras on the card. nuts.

good availability for Day 5 ….HTH
Nothing on their website for tomorrow though

good availability for Day 5

😆

Rain stops play. 🙁

Won’t be for long. Gonna be PERFECT bowling conditions tomorrow.

The way India are playing I think we would still skittle them if it was perfect batting conditions.

I’m 12 miles to the west of Edgbaston where the weather is coming from. Shall post up any reports of rain. Stopped now, brightening up, play to begin in 10 mins

*Applauds*

only another 200 to go 🙂

Im wondering about popping up to Edgbaston tomorrow to watch the carnage…what chance tickets you think?

I’d have been there yesterday or today if I’d thought there was any chance of getting in.

plenty of empty seats to be seen, but the radio described it as a sell out 😕

though its looking fuller now

Double century! Well done that man
