Feels really weird waiting for the Test to kick off at 2. I like the idea though I hope the weather's warm for those of you going. I've followed to a certain extent the story of the pink Duke ball, but am mightily puzzled as to why it should behave differently (e.g. go soft quicker, not take a shine) just because they dye it a different colour.
443-3 against a bowling attack that looks toothless, now's probably the time to throw the bat at it. With rain coming later and plenty forecast for Sunday we need to get a score that gives us a clear shot at the follow-on but try to get a bit of time in the field today. A quick 100-150 from here would be brilliant.
An indication of how interesting this Test is, I watched a T20 match in it's entirety last night instead of the Test.

I hope the idea spreads to Asian countries, it will make it a lot easier for us to watch matches held there.
