Great start by England in the third test.

England 4 runs for 3 wickets from 6 overs. Brilliant. :cry:

49-4 but it was 36-4.

Everything rests on Pietersen getting a big score. Watch him get out now.

Good ole Pietersen. 129 runs just managed to get us to a half respectable score.

240-7 is not bad considering the terrible start. Expect us to be all out within the first 10 overs later.

It's supposed to be a good batting pitch. We make 260 they make 632-5 declared.

It's funnt, I was watching SSN yesterday, top of the batsman betting was Pieterson. The Ladbrokes spokesman was on telling everyone to take your pick of the field, Pieterson is out of form and a terrible favourite. :laugh:

Is there really any point getting a bookies' rep in to give betting advice? I mean, if they thought there was value in the book, they would adjust the odds not leave it there for savvy punters. Sky put a lot of shit on their news programme, but this segment has to be the most pointless. /end rant

467-7 declared Ndiwa, with NZ now 48 without loss. Strauss was out for 177 in the end!

Not certain LK, although it is Strauss's highest ever 1st class score

They need 300+ from the second half batsmen. Can't see it, and I think they'll try to hold out for the draw with a bit of stonewalling. If they risk hitting out they have a big task on.
