Certainly see more of what Prior's really about as a batsman coming in in this position.

Beautiful straight drive from KP as I type. England's best (only?) chance of a winning lead, obv.

Wasn't great, but the dismissal was more to do with the ball not getting up as high as it should from the length RPS had banged it in at.
Oh? cricinfo just described it as a poor shot, unfortunately I'm not watching and probably won't be until after lunch.

Jumped on the bed in excitement.
Oh nah I'm on the sofa downstairs, run up to post on CW everytime a wicket falls. When a boundary is hit, I rather stay downstairs :) .

But yea a lot of times. You should've seen me on day two when wickets were tumbling, I was going absolutely crazy. My mom was like calm down, you'll get a heart attack.

Bell had just pulled a very similar ball for four which had got up to chest height, this one barely reached his cods. Came off the toe-end & we all know the rest.

What do people believe is a safe lead for England usually you would think about 280-300 should be good enough. I suppose it depends on how the pitch plays in recent times on the 4th & 5th day the Lords pitch has become easier play because it really deadens out.

Hahaha. Awesome. I was just telling some one that you would probably get a heart attack if we win too.

Haha, I'd love to see what you're like when India actually win a Test.

India's highest winning fourth-innings score since 1990 was 264 against Sri Lanka in Kandy. I think that England will still need over 300 though.

Like you say, it's hard to judge. We could already have plenty if the pitch continues to play as it has from the second day on, but if it flattens out 300 might not be nearly enough.

Think it's safe to say we won't be seeing a declaration any time soon tho.
