*Official* Fourth Test at Chester-le-Street

[Pothas]

Petr Korda's daughters are decent golfers.

This maybe the dullest post of all time.

You not read the ones about Jason Koumas?

Sorry, two poor shots from Cook and Trott and a good ball to a woefully out of form Joe Root.

It looked a bit harder first thing this morning when Oz were in admittedly

yep. australian guys get out cos they are **** and/or great bowling. english from bad shots/out of form. pretty standard i guess.

99-2 in a low scoring game has to go down as the batting side clearly winning that session. With 37 overs left in the last session if England bat the day out the lead will be over 200 by the close. Australia need wickets.

Ahh, I try to block them out.

KP clearly couldn't handle going to Tea being out-scored by Iron-man.

Oooh! Delicately poised, this game. A fantastic session; Australia getting early wickets and on top, but England rebuilding their innings steadily showing some grit. Australia hasn't bowled too well this session, so England can be optimistic. This test match is going the Trent Bridge way. Should be a cracker.

yeah no doubt. i think we will come back and bowl a lot more economically, if nothing else, the next session. it's frustrating noone seems to have a ****ing clue what to do with bell.

Looked a good bouncer to Trott, and the way Cook got out is what the Aussies have been bowling for all match, and he has played and missed a few times.

Wapocs

Despite Cook and Trott getting out relatively easy, they at least scored pretty quickly and set up a good tempo for the innings. Makes for good watching too.

nah. luck.

I think if England get to a 200 lead its going to be extremely tough to get. Game is massively in the balance though. One wicket brings Bairstow to the crease. Who is playing for his place and doesn't look like getting a score.

Lot of conclusions being jumped to in this post. Complex?

Yep - all hinges on this partnership. Walking wicket in next and then Matt Prior as out of form as he's ever been

Yep. Need centuries from these two.

 

[Riggins]

surely bell isn't going to be someone who scored 3 tons in an ashes series. give us one more throwaway please bellend.

 

[Swingpanzee]

If there's a wicket Bresnan gonna come in. As nightwatchman.

 

[Spark]

****

 

[Swingpanzee]

Close, close one.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

That was a big moment, hard chance but needed to be taken.

haddin has been bad behind the stumps all series.
