Never make a judgement until both teams have had a bat. There's plenty in this pitch for Anderson to work with.

Decent little tail-end knock from Broad, this.

England really got bogged down in the final session yesterday. They went into their shell when they should have been far more aggressively piling on the runs.

this is a boss batting wicket latch

This end partnership is massive, hopefully they can push England up to nearer 400

Yup, no point for tail-enders to play defensively. Just knock it and add on as many runs as you can.

Broad/Swann doing a really good job here.

12 off the first 4 in this over! thats good effort lads keep it up

It's supposed to be yet some of the best batsmen in the world have struggled. If Smith can get spin here, Swann won't have any trouble.

Away to stick a fiver on the Aussies making less than 300. Stand on me.

 

[Pblueman]

averaging 5.5 off the last 10 overs, thats decent figures right there, for the tail

 

[Pblueman]

350 well done lads keep it going

 

[evilwebby]

a 6 from Broad!

Good stuff from Broady - we can wag to Ozzies

Nicely posed I reckon.

Useful little partnership that, score still a little underpar though I'd say
