*Official* First Test at Lord's

International Coach
If he makes one today, he comes even with the record holders,including Cook. Cook got their his previous innings and thus missed an opportunity to become the sole leading consecutive 50s scorer, yesterday.

I only know this because it came up during the 3rd Test vs SL.
The record belongs to Weekes, Chanders and Andy Flower (7).
Cook had only 6 consecutive fifties and Bell has 5 now.

Doesn't matter what pace you are, swing is swing. England to get 380, retire. That will set up the match perfectly.

I disagree. At his pace you can readjust a hell of alot more easily that you can against Steyn when he's swinging it. Additionally his swing was been from hand which makes it alot easier to play against that late swing.

He's bowled well though no doubt about it.

Dhoni wants to get back to his hotel quickly, so bowling out the rest of the English batsmen in the next 5 overs.
