12 dot balls and a wide from Lee so far. Nice to see his little layoff hasn't hurt him and he's bowling like he was in the Australian summer.

One of them nearly got Strauss out, too.

Solid start but if we aren't at 40 by 10 overs I'll be quite worried but if these two keep it up then I might well be quite worried.

Great start from Lee.

Strauss done all ends up by Lee - well and truly out-thought and a completely deserved wicket.

That sort of shot's becoming a big worry for the summer.

Hmm, need to rotate the strike a little in some way if they can manage it. At very worst, just don't lose any wickets to these two in their first spells and then bash the change bowlers.

Indeed. Seems to have a real weakness when the ball is coming back into him.

pretty good figures for lee- 15 balls, one run, one wicket. and that one run wasn't off the bat, either

Wonder why Shaun Pollock didn't pick up on that weakness in the recent series?

I'd have thought he was one of the best in-swingers to left-handers in the world. Something to do with pace I reckon which would be good because he can sort that out but technique might be something to be worried about. Form?
