50 for Cook. Looked really good in this innings, amazing what a hundred'll do for the confidence!

Yeah, apart from that shot in the first dig, which he should obviously have been shot for, he really has looked good this match. Seems to have sorted out his problem with the ball just outside off-stump for the time being anyway. When he'd scored runs recently I felt it was from some shocking bowling at him, but the saffies have bowled a good line to him really, and he's coped manfully.

EDIT: Oh for ****s sake, I blame myself.

250 runs needed with 7 wicket left?

Depends. if, say, we reached 220 for 1 then lost a couple before reaching 250 the emphasis would probably be on saving the game. If, otoh, Colly and ANOther had added 100 to take us to 250 that would be different. There's a sort of Duckworth Lewis needs producing here.

Harris will prefer bowling to a right-hander won't he?

EDIT
Nope - he'll be quite happy shifting Strauss. Back to earth, back to reality folks.

Oh ****. Strauss gone as well. Really need Trott and KP to put on a partnership similar to the one they put on in the 1st Test.

Come on KP. Surely you'd love to have masterminded the biggest chase of all time, against South Africa of all people?

We need two big hundreds from somewhere if we're going to make this interesting. More likely we'll be at least 5 down when the 2nd new ball arrives and that will be that. Or else Harris will simply clean up.
