D'oh. Powell shells Collingwood again. Not an absolute sitter, but should've been taken.

& ton for KP. Fair play big fella. Five centurions in the one test for England. Can't have happened too often.

The Sky stats wonk, Benedict (who seems a bit of a tool, it must be said), mentioned several players had done it, but only two I recall now were Alderman & Akram.

Beefy?

No, they were both well after Beefy's retirement.

You have to feel for Owais Shah, making 6 and 4 in a match in which five of his team-mates made hundreds.

Perhaps Strauss'll give him a bit of a bowl tomorrow - a bit of off-spin may come in handy.

 

[pasag]

Collingwood gone for 34 to Bravo.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hate it when you get the part of the day when 'bad' light comes into the equation.

Unselfish batting from Collingwood, good contribution from him.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Telly can sometimes be misleading, but it looks pretty gloomy. I reckon we should just bat through now & declare overnight. We should be 400+ to the good if KP stays in.

 

[pasag]

Yeah looks heaps dark, no way they should declare today.

And lol at KP and Gayle...again.

 

[pasag]

Bell gone.

 

[The_Bunny]

Chance for Matty again now

 

[pasag]

Prior four then six!

 

[stumpski]

Botham still talking about sticking 'em in for 7-8 overs, so maybe it's not that bad.

Prior has just come in and he seems to be seeing it pretty well.

 

[pasag]

Another one!

 

[The_Bunny]

I think Windies want Bell back

 

[pasag]

KP lbw to Gayle trying to reverse sweep. Lol!

 

[four_or_six]

Gayle is so cool... liked the handshake to KP, they've had good banter and no bitterness. Great to watch.

 

[stumpski]

Hmmm ... with our tail we could be all out tonight.

 

[Arjun]

KP lbw to Gayle trying to reverse sweep. Lol!

Not so much a reverse-sweep. More a reverse cover-drive!

 

[pasag]

Gayle gets another one! Plunkett gone for a duck.

 

[aussie]

Prior doing himself no harm in this test, it is really a different bloke with the willow than i saw in the ODI side last year.

 

[wpdavid]

Plunkett showing his renowned ability with the bat

Come on Harmy, time to make some sort of contribution to the game ...
