A good solid batting performance from England today with a small case of the jitters tonight. With wickets in hand and Freddy to come in we could post a good total. I would like to see 500 hundred by lunch and then put them in. I think batting first was a great advantage and I think this wicket will do a bit, especially later on day two onwards. It would be great if we can force a follow on. Ooh, now I'm fantacising.
