15 minutes was always pushing things for a night-watchman. It was also a very negative decision: the game really didn't need Hoggard at the crease first thing in the morning. As it is, if Strauss & KP stay there, then England are well placed to push on tomorrow and we could yet have an interesting finish.

WHY ARE YOU PULLING THE LAST BALL OF THE DAY?
He's good, but an idiot sometimes.
Yup. No-one minds him failing from time to time, but the manner of it is sometimes staggeringly thick. It would be interesting to see how WI play it if they do get a first innings lead: it would probably involve some sort of call involving enough time for them to bowl us out & a potentially gettable target.

KP you absolute clown, a brilliant player, but sometimes doesn't consult his grey matter before doing stupid things like that.

Meh, it's the way he plays so I shall not fault him. Not entirely clever but he'll get another chance to bat if this is to be anything but a draw anyway as I don't think there was ever going to be a owt but a draw or a WI win after they scored 300 and took as long as they did.

The main change is that it will be much harder for England to finish Day 4 about 180 ahead, and therefore that much easier for WI to secure a draw if that's what they want. Even if England do collapse in the morning, this will now boil down to how brave Ganga is feeling. If England last until mid-afternoon, WI would have to be bowled out cheaply to have enough time to win the game and hope that England did much the same.

Well if they were salivating they know bugger all. Idiotic shot with no possible gain. Higgard played a daft shot for sure, but KP is more culpable for sure. And not for the first time either. He is our best batsman but needs to curtail himself when needed. Reminiscent of the means of play that lost us the Trent Bridge test against SL last year when he decided to go after Murali just before lunch on the Saturday.
