Hey, better then that, Cozier compared his cover-drive to Brian Lara

 

[_Ed_]

Now that was spectacular.

Cozier is a gun.

Edwards bowls Sidebottom, wraps up the innings.

Should get a few overs in before lunch then

 

[Gloucefan]

Fair play to Monty here, sounds like he played a couple of very nice shots.

 

[Richard]

I guessed.

Picked lucky, IOW.

Bell and Harmison using up Edwards earlier overs has really helped this last wicket put England beyond 350. Personally I think WI will struggle to get much more than 370 in two goes.

I just figured that because that because you had done all the day reports previously that you would do today's..Also no need for the dry imo.

That was a great session for England, the last partnership was a killer for Windies. Nice few overs before Lunch.

Yes, they wouldn't have enjoyed themselves against Edwards & Taylor like that. Still, so much for those of us worrying about Panesar & co taking a hammering. The last 5 wickets added over 200, btw.

Personally I think WI will struggle to get much more than 370 in two goes.

Against a good attack, I'd agree. Not convinced about ours though.

The Dry is a jokey smiley, TBH - it conveys pretend or not-that-serious displeasure.

I did yesterday's report, and it's very unusual for one person to do more than one day per Test, never mind consecutive days. I wasn't originally rotad for either, but couldn't really do Sat so changed to Fri and also covered Thu because Alex (The Baconator) had an exam today and needed yesterday to revise.

I've done one day of each of the two previous Tests.

I know it's been remarked upon before, but CW really is quite a bit quicker than cricinfo for updates for those wage slaves amongst us. That said posts that consist of (effectively) "ooooooooooooo" are well annoying 'cos I'm stuck thinking "what? what?" 'til cricinfo catches up.

Think 370 should be quite competitive on this pitch from what I saw of it yesterday.

The West Indies gave away way too many extras there; 47 is unforgiveable.

 

[Woodster]

Harmison is our spearhead, he has a perfect pitch for his style of bowling. Pressure is on him as everyone expects him to deliver. I personally think he'll pick up a large portion of the WI wickets.

I think he'll do well too, the pitch and batting is suited to him. IF he doesn't though, question should be asked about his selection, because he won't ever get a better pitch to bowl on.

Yet, I reiterate, I think and hope he will do well

True as, though I'm not following much live today. Work are making me work

Looking forward to watching Harmison bowl on this pitch.
