Stuttering on off 10 paces allows him to bowl long spells tbh.

I've no clue what he's going to do when the new ball comes around. On the one hand you'd be stupid not to take it on this pitch but who the hell is going to bowl it?

Don't think Harbhajan should be a guarenteed fixture throughout this series imo. They are never gonna drop him though.

They won't be too bad, with lunch coming up now.

Mishra sucks even more.

Good to have such a Darren Sammy-ish bowler in the current situation instead of Sreesanth who can leak runs magnanimously

This. Mishra was miserable in WI and against Somerset.
The last 15 minutes is, quite disgracefully, the first I have seen of this match. it's hard to equate it with the struggle that has gone before tbh.
No excuses for England, if they don't dominate the next 3 sessions then they only have themselves to blame. test of character for India. Wit this Lords pitch they should try to keep things tight and have confidence that they can make a huge score batting second.
Heard about the 'catch' on the radio. Can't believe they use such proven flawed technology in such situations, but sounds like Dravid behaved with his customary class.

Praveen is constantly swinging the ball, good signs imo. Bell looking more and more comfortable by the second.

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.

Good start this morn for England, played Harby very well 'ere. England need 400 minimum against this batting line up though, probably nearer 500 to be honest.

Hmmmm, I looked it up. As a matter of fact Cook has 6 consecutive 50s (not countingLooking like the game will be set up nicely for Sunday
). Bell might get to 6 too, today, but is still counting. However, there are 3 players with 7 consecutive 50s: Weekes, Flower & C'paul. The list with 6 consecutive 50s has the likes of Sobers, Headley, Border, Chappell, Abbas, Dravid, Kallis, MHussey, Youssouf and Sangka. Bradman has 5.
