Great catch by Cook, don't think he knew a lot about it though!

50 for Strauss, and ably backed up by a watchful Cook, looking good.

Good day for England. Even the 8th wicket stand of 84 didn't really detract from a good team performance.

I felt the bowlers lost a little discipline during the stand but ultimately after a strong opening partnership, we're well on top.

I'd like a 1st innings of at least 600 so I've got some chance to see some cricket on Saturday!

The bowlers and also odd field placings. Anyway 224 is brilliant, and we're only 140 behind. I'm looking for a big first innings lead...

Light rain in Birmingham at the moment so unlikely to start on time today.

I'm at home in Kings Norton, about 4 miles away, and it's stopped here but still very grey. The one glimmer of hope is that it is very windy so there's a chance that it can blow over.
