Bugger... I'm going to have to try very hard to ignore that link...

224/1... magnificent from Key and Strauss. Surely no way back for Butcher now...?

As Matt says that, Key is caught at first slip ...

Bugger.

Critical period for England coming up. Vaughan has to get his eye in, then in 5 overs time its the new ball. If these two can see off the new ball England will be very nicely poised.

 

[The General]

Vaughan has 5 runs and has been in for an hour. New ball time ...

 

[The General]

And Strauss fella has gone.

 

[Matt the Shrimp]

Bugger, bugger, bugger! Great knock - 147. But only the 4th delivery with the new ball (presuming it was taken)... time for Vaughan and Thorpe to both hit big innings...

Thorpe's gone for a duck

**** YAAAAWWWNNNNNN *****

Lee - sod off.

Hmm... S. Africa bit back well in that last session with the new ball. Need a big knock from Vaughan tomorrow and one of Jones, Freddy or the King of Spain. Anything less than 370 would be a huge disappointment given the 2nd wicket stand...

We've put 4 past the opposition on the last two occasions I've been down to the Hall, as it happens...

Best was the Swansea game, as Steveh and I sat there before the game, confidently predicting "a tight game" and "0-0, maybe 1-0".

Never have I been so delighted to be so spectacularly wrong.

I'll just watch it on the telly eight foot from my desk thanks

8 wickets down. Typical mid-order collapse.

KoS sorts things out a bit. Good to see Vaughan finally getting some decent grafting done, if Harmison and Jones can hang about a bit we could get near to 370.

Giles and Vaughan put on a nice little 50-odd for the 8th wicket though.

The way the pitch is going, we've certainly got a better chance than the Yaapies, although draw is still fav given the weather.

Go Harmy!
