Considering how badly we batted I think we're in a decent position and the fact our odds have shortened from about 5/6 to 4/6 suggests we're in a better position than 24 hours ago.

Even if they get 250 I still feel we'll get enough runs in the second innings.

Going to be a very interesting mornings play and any less than two wickets and I'll be worried.

we need a breakthough here

Swann?

is this ball going to swing... looking like it isn't.. need at least a wicket this session

well we needed that.

Jimmy again.

He could have taken all 10 yesterday.

Another silly shot from someone who got himself in and couldn't resist a drive.

Hopefully Swann will target Hughes now and we'll get into the tail.

Huge wicket

360 degree spin.

I think you would be slightly concerned if you have tickets for saturday.

7 down. Brilliant catch by prior.

Jimmy too good. Classic bowling.

Come on 3 in quick succession

bad drop by swann now.

Like Vaughans comments on TMS

"That's a straightforward catch but this is outstanding bowling, it's right up there with Wasim, Waqar, Imran Khan, outstanding bowling from Anderson."

Get get better praise than that!

8. Loving this now. Jimmy yet again.

Honestly, if we had bowled first we would be at least 100 ahead by now.

Four wickets in my lunch break so far!!!!

5 now.

Swann taking the piss.

This match is daft. Its supposed to be a 5 day marathon.

But for dropped catches they would have been all out 20 minutes ago.

Crazy. And still looks a decent pitch.

Haha Brilliant "This is the worst Australian collapse since poor old Helen Daniels fell down that flight of stairs in Neighbours."

A ridiculous not out stumping decision by the third umpire.

That was out but because it was very very close he bottled it. Useless twat.

What are these numbers they say when showing the replay of the delivery?

as good as it is we are bowling some shite to this youngun.

He is showing that its a decent pitch.

Infact Finn needs a kick in the bollocks.

Forget it I just saw the rpm meter.

Infact he wants punching in the face bowling this short.

I hope they scrap it. Getting on my tits

Finn is getting on mine. I could bowl better and I have never bowled.

Shocking display of bowling.

This is fcking ridiculous

just getting worse from Finn now.

Shocking bowling and even worse captaincy leaving him on.

Even Michael Holding is embarrassed.

Going for 8 an over now.

The aussies on the balcony are laughing like fook. All their christmasses have come at once.

Only 37 ahead now. This will feel like a deficit.

Why isnt Anderson bowling?

Is Cook retarded?

With a bit of luck we'll have these out before tea

back to our complacent worsed I am afraid.

One decent half hour spell, the rest has been rubbish. Really rubbish.

cant believe we have lettheir debutant 19 year old no 11 get 50, off 50 balls.

Pathetic.

Thats it I am turning it off. At least there is golf on.

only 14 ahead now.

Even though that kid was out, and the third upmire must have had a bet, he has made our bowling like utter utter shite.

Only reading bbc text commentry but this is funny

To be fair this lad clearly isnt a number 11 and was only put there as on debut.

That must be the worst 90 minute bowling performance EVER.

He often plays as a number 3 apparently?

Just turned it back on and see we are 50 behind.

What a fooking pathetic display this has turned out to be.

Some fookin heads need knocking together.

All the experts say we have better bowlers than them so if their last man can make it look this easy, then our batters have no excuse against their inferior bowlers.

Or have we all got it wrong?

That's what I was thinking, either that or he's just doing that thing that young sportsmen do and is playing with the knowledge he has nothing to lose.

well he is 92no now.

We cant let him get a hundred.

He played number 3 in England.

Oh and we have waited till he is 90 before we start to rough him up.

Fookin idiots.

highest ever no 11 score now in a test match.

We also manged to let Tino Best get the second best last year as well.

Has to be complacency.

Is pj's walking wicket Phil Hughes still in ?

Can see this game being all over by lunch tomorrow- England have lost the momentum and will be 5 down by end of play- we only have ourselves to blame !

Hope he gets the 100, must have nerves of steel.
