    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    It might not be such a bad idea for Johnson to go hell for leather and try to unsettle the bowlers by hitting a few lusty blows. Until both of these batsmen are out the game is still on in my books.

    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    I can't help but feel ridiculously pessimistic about this. I said at the start of play that I thought England were the only team capable of losing to a 500 run chase and I realistically thought there was a strong possibility that we'd get beat. It's just the English way. But for the love of God...

    We're gonna bottle this big time.

    No more wickets will fall today. I'd put money on that if I had any.

    In the meantime, Sir James of Anderson Lord Manor of Burnley has had an off day today. Been outbowled by Broad and that really is saying something.

    *Official* Second Test at Lords

    On closer inspection, I don't think that ball actually hit the stumps. Was more of a sudden dramatic wind change I think. Terrible stroke of luck for North.

    To be fair on the Hussey one though, i'll bet that absolutely everyone thought it was out live and that's the only view the umpires get. But still, that's 3 wickets that weren't wickets...

    Meh. In fairness Broad's bowled pretty well today. But he'll start again with the short balls soon enough i'm sure.

    Whatever the odds i'd put a tenner on Australia winning from here. There's only one team in the world that could fail to defend 500 and it's the team with Stuart Broad as their spearhead.

    I like Broad as a character and he seems like a good lad. I don't mind him in the one day team because he's actually fairly decent in colours, but i've yet to see him show that he's a Test quality bowler yet. He's been bowling poorly for a while and I just think it's unfair that he doesn't get...

    Planet Cricket isn't as bad as Ben to be fair.

    Need to stop this flow of runs pretty sharpish tbh. Ponting is looking dangerously ominous out there.

    All of us have clearly said he wasn't out. We just don't like how we're being labelled cheats when it wasn't our fault.

    Oh great, here comes Australia's 12th man to hand over the initiative. Surprise surprise, no boundaries for ages and then Broad's first ball is gimme.

    I think this could be the last time we see Fred in whites tbh. :(

    So it's our fault that the square leg umpire didn't refer it? Yeah nice one mate.

    Looks like all the dire luck Fred's had with injury over the years has finally decided to help him on his last ever game at Lords.

    This won't be given. Alright maybe it will haha. Shocking umpiring. Batted though Phillip. Technical masterclass that.

    England not playing in the spirit of the game by not asking Ricky if his 'ickle finger was alright.

    Ball's not swinging. I'm worried.
