How many overs tomorrow? Normally 90, but we must still be catching up Thursday's lost play?

I like T20s, one dayers are cool, but how can you top Test Cricket?! We lost a vital toss, put on loads of runs, dismissed them cheaply, made it look like we were well on course, then lost 5 in one session, recovered superbly and I guess we're slight favourites to win.... But who knows when you've got Dravid, Laxman, Gambhir, Dhoni and some Little Master to bat!

No way they can chase down 458.
Absolutely no way.

Can they?.
I tell you what, if they are 180-2 around lunch I might start to panic

It frustrates me when people rave about the Indian batting line up. Sure they have some wonderful players and Tendulkar is a master, but before Dravid's ton in their first innings, none of this stelar line up had scored a ton at Lords.

My main concern is that Tremlett seems to be carrying an injury and looked out of sorts.

Monday will be a great days play. Please hold your catches England! We'll win, but it will see-saw and perhaps the injuries to Gambhir, Zaheer and Tendulkar's "viral ilness" (aka common cold) will prove to be crucial.

I love test cricket!

Great performance in the morning session.

The intensity was spot on and we were slightly unlucky not to have taken a couple more.

Tendulkar got away with one there.  Huge LBW appeal from Broad, given not out, ball hitting middle stump.

Get in there.

Wonderful performance, especially today.  Completely squeezed the life out of India.
