Oh dear. KP, I'll kiss you if I ever meet you if you can weave your magic.

 

[mavric41]

bye bye Hoggard

England are scared to win

 

[Monty]

i reckon he will put on 300 with bell i hope

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

17-0-111-1 indeed!

Three for Lee this morning. England on the ropes now. Knowing this match, we've got a century stand coming up.

I must say - this is thrilling cricket to watch!

Especially with Warne and Lee bowling in tandem.. and Hoggard continuing to frustrate Warne.

Agree, this is awesome stuff. Was planning to get something to eat but I haven't yet been able to leave my seat.

I hope Bell gets a good innings here, the 70 against West Indies showed he has the ability, I'd like to see him show it against Australia.

Hoggard's on his way now, he did his job very well though, showed Trescothick and Vaughan how to defend against Lee!

 

[Scaly piscine]

That's the second guide to slip/gully Hoggard's done... love to know what on earth he's trying to do.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

We never expected Hoggard to do much.

Ton from Kevin...please...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Oh sweet jesus. No sooner does Richie mention Hoggy conentrating on defence than he tries to play a shot. Naughty Hoggy, bad Hoggy!

KP must be due a failure too. & v nearly a first baller too.

 

[_Ed_]

Big appeal against Pietersen first ball, how big a wicket would that have been?

Talk about Calypso Calapso and we dont have time for a century stand lets get england all done and dusted........

 

[luckyeddie]

Sheesh the ball almost went under Vaughan's bat.

Well, Vaughan did jump a foot in the air - and it hit the top of the stump.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

KP is a lucky man.

 

[superkingdave]

That's the second guide to slip/gully Hoggard's done... love to know what on earth he's trying to do.

Its just a case of he doesn't have any shots other than in defence, when he has to play any attacking shots he's up the creek without a paddle

 

[mavric41]

Oh Billy!! Off the gloves is out too.

 

[Shane Warne]

Pietersens had his customary let off, so will probably go on to get another 50.

 

[Slow Love™]

I would have been pretty happy to keep Hoggard in there for some time longer, and work around him.

Very good bowling from Lee this morning, and he was unfairly bucketed after one poor day yesterday. He's still Australia's second-best performing fast bowler in the series up to this point, and comfortably.

The big question is can we get Pietersen cheaply for once?

Oh bugger, it looked like we might have.... Looked like there might have been some glove in that one. Big decision.

 

[shaka]

Good decision by Bowden.

 

[AndrewM]

What a difference a break makes!

Momentum has swung like a seesaw..namely England have fallen off it.
