The ball is starting to reverse. An important session coming up for England. We could win this today.

Excellent batting by KP and a 10-fer in the match for Swann to win the test

Another great performance form KP in the 2nd innings.  The last over showed everything you need to know about the guy.  We'd clearly won the game by then but he wanted to do it in style, if he'd got out people would've given him a lot of grief but in that situation playing safety first is just as dangerous, as we saw in the previous test.

Great stuff from KP and long may it continue. Good to win the last Test and hope lessons have been learned. The number 6 position is totally open for me, and I'd be inclined to give Bairstow a chance.

Is anyone going to any of the one day games in the summer?  Me, my brothers and a few mates are thinking of going to the day nighter at edgbaston on 4th july against the aussie.  Should be a great game.

I've just managed to get 4 tickets for the West Indies Test in June.  Im serving in the RAF and managed to grab them from 'Tickets For Troops'. So if you or you know someone who is in the Forces, get onboard for a free day out at Edgbaston! they even have the Saturday available!

How many runs did he get in the end?  Was watching some of it on my lunch break and he hit a few fours and a six.  cant believe he is bowling though

He got 103 not out off 64 balls with 6 x 4 and 9 x 6. Quite an innings.

Glad he's getting in good form, we'll need him to fire this summer and when we defend the Twenty20 World cup.
