It's always a sign that things are going in the batsmen's favour when the thread is quiet, isn't it?
Yeah, I reckon this'll be a good batting day actually. All the signs in the opening half hour so far have been good. KP in particular opening up nicely.

50 for KP. Played in a very restrained manner last night, and brought the shots out this morning. Excellent, now crack on and make a hundred KP.

hard to see where a wicket is gonna come from here. Need some Agar, or maybe even an over or two from Smith to mix things up a bit

Cook in a trough here (blame Trott digging at the pitch) but KP has played well for the 50 so far. Need him to double it on a day that looks good for batting.

Looked like that early yesterday too...
And a number 11 smoked 98 off 101 balls. :p

Seriously though, I do think yesterday was a good day for batting. Anderson bowled well initially and Australia weren't great, but the batsman weren't in much trouble for most of the day after the first hour. England innings was a bit different because Australia had all the momentum and they also got it reversing early. But even then Cook and KP never really looked to be having too many problems.
