Looks like play is due to restart shortly. Hopefully Tait will still be swinging it.

But its still a no ball mate. Therefore the batsman is not out.aussie said:

I didn't realise he swung it so much, looks good the young pup does.FaaipDeOiad said:

It'd be like being run-out up the bowlers end off a straight drive, but no-one touched it. Wouldn't it?aussie said:

You wouldnt think that with his action that he'd be an outswing bowler..... Strange indeed.Pedro Delgado said:

Shows what wrist position does. No wonder he gets such good reverse swing, the way he brings his wrist around the back of the ball like he does as he brings his arm over.King_Ponting said:
Then again, maybe not. You'd be able to cheat and just go and stand a metre out of the crease to try and make it easier to get down the other end and not be run out. Meh...vic_orthdox said:

Tait actually moves the ball quite a lot, off the seam as well sometimes. He's also a big reverser of the ball, which is part of the reason that half (or even more, I think) of his victims last year were bowled and lbw. Now, if he can just bowl it straight enough...Pedro Delgado said:

he looks like he could be a dangerous bowler to the right-handers once he does get his straight....FaaipDeOiad said:Tait actually moves the ball quite a lot, off the seam as well sometimes.

What a corker to get first up from the break for Trescothick!
That's a wicket-taking ball, andyc.

Please note this ball is 30 overs old. Ricky, give him the cherry next innings.

Great stuff it has to be said.

Interesting that the ball is still going conventionally after 30 overs, and looks in very good shape. Shows that this pitch is far less abrasive than that seen at Old Trafford, and it's unlikely to reverse much, at least not early.
