Surely even we can't mess it up from here?

Only the weather could stop us.

Goes to show the difference Woakes makes.  Hopefully we can finish the job this afternoon and not have to worry about the weather tomorrow.

I think that they're still playing. Well according to Cricinfo they are. Sidebottom is bowling to Gubbins.

Are we allowed to delay tea, now that they're nine down, or does that rule only apply to lunch breaks?

I think it applies to all breaks and also at stumps. As long as the light is good enough and there's a chance of a result you can claim the extra half hour. Slightly different rules apply to the 4th day though.

The great escape is on....!

Great win, waited a long time for that!

Sounds a strong bowling unit: Barker, Woakesy, Patel and the new Ryan Sidebottom.
