It's really important we knock them over quickly in the morning, ideally for under 280. We don't want them getting 300 +.

3 wickets, no more runs. That's how you clean up the tail! Excellent. We need to bat all day, at least.

All day and most of tomorrow!

Well finishing them off so quickly, was great and a good start to the batting.

[Dave Cooper please]

Ha! Pakistan have wasted both their reviews, that will cost them later when they are bowling two spinners.

[PaulWinch again]

That is an excellent session, we need another good session and it'll be a great day. We should really be putting the strangle hold on this game, and getting a big lead and then there is plenty in the pitch to bowl them out again.

[PaulWinch again]

Damn Trott gone, he's done well. It's really important we don't lose a cluster of wickets now.

[Dave Cooper please]

Cook is just a machine, he doesn't sweat even in the desert!

[PaulWinch again]

Well he's out now, bad time to lose him. He's played well, we really need the other batsmen to perform now.

[PaulWinch again]

Here we go again, Pietersen for fucks sake.

[PaulWinch again]

Well we have well and truly potentially ballsed up a good position here. KP and Morgan have badly let us down, from a great position. We're reliant on Bell and Prior getting big scores now.

[TheTimVilla]

207 for 5. Fuck. Apart from the last half hour, it's been our day.

[PaulWinch again]

That last half an hour though could be the most important of the game. It's not gone for us yet, but we need big scores from Bell, Prior and the rest now. We have to bat last. Really poor from KP and Morgan. I've long been a supporter of  KP, but I'm losing faith. I also championed Morgan for the side, but unless he picks up he really isn't producing anywhere near enough.

Damn Trott gone, he's done well. It's really important we don't lose a cluster of wickets now.

Just stay quiet next time please.

Curse of the H&V commentary strikes again

[PaulWinch again]

Yes to correct my commentary curse, I sure hope England don't go on to get another 200 + runs tomorrow!

[Dave Cooper please]

Morgan isn't a test batsman. He'd be my first pick in ODI's because of his incredible strokeplay, but he just hasn't got the patience to play a test innings when it's needed.
