[Dave Cooper please]

I like that new gizmo showing the revolutions on the ball from Swann.

[PaulWinch again]

Don't be dropping catches Swanny.

Yeah I mentioned that yesterday, it's great, he's getting 200-300 more revs on it than Agar yesterday and you can see the difference in the bounce...

And there goes Starc, Jimmy's line is just too good for the lower order here.

I'm at work but I work in education so it's very quiet and I'm in Norway so I get the youtube stream... it's pretty dire today though.

The Swann delivery for the wicket is a beauty, got a hell of a lot of turns for a day 2 pitch.

I can't find it on here? http://www.youtube.com/ecbcricket What am I doing wrong?!

[Villan For Life]

I love Jimmy Anderson and I want to have his babies.

There I've said it.

[paul_e]

The Swann delivery was good but not a Warne-style ripper, as I imagine it may be being described. However, gloriously accurate.

Another good Jimmy delivery. No way could we get a 50+ lead on that first innings, no way.

looks like it could be closer to 100 than 50 right now.  We've got them well on the ropes here.

[TheTimVilla]

I've got this horrible feeling that they'll bat beyond tea. Hope I'm wrong.

I think they'll bat into tomorrow with this weather.

You reckon!

Shows what I know!

It's a bit hidden away.

Seeing him bowl like this shows just how ridiculous his career average being over 30 is... sorry was, graphic has just shown that as of now it's 29.79

I thought it was that, but I get a message to say "video not available". I thought Germany was ok for coverage. Ah well.

[Villan For Life]

What an incredible 1st hour

[paul_e]

Did they really just review that?  It was clearly dead straight, I guess wasting a review when you're already 117-8 doesn't really matter though.

[Villan For Life]

I'm in a devious mood. I really need to come up with a plausible excuse for me to go and work from home now (and watch the cricket).

Any suggestions?

Tell them you've been bit by a swann?

Tell your boss to fuck off and then sexually assault his secretary?
