    It's back.

    And Bresnan has made the breakthrough, fittingly on Yorkshire Day!

    Got to say that the Aussies had a bum deal on that one.

    Shocking decision. Even snicko showed no contact with the bat - although I know they don't factor snicko in. Why have the DRS when it's still so obviously fallible? <doh>

    (Nice breeze up on Naarfuk coost Maestro bor <ok>)

    I don't think the third umpire was concentrating properly when he gave Khawaja out!

    What on earth is this Yorkshire day all about then?

    Am I expected to eat a mountain of Greggs & drink John Smiths whilst watching Emmerdale being a mardy arse speaking with a northern twang?

    Out of interest does any other county have it's own day?

    Mandatory Yorkshire Puds washed down with a pint of Landlord.

    Looks like they've evened it up by not giving out an LBW appeal that looked to be hitting leg stump

    So Smith has been out 4 times so far. How many more times before they give it?

    I imagine the Khawaja cock up was of such magnitude that the umps have agreed to give Aus 5 lives by way of apology? :emoticon-0112-wonde

    Good o see a very exciting young Essex / England (?) future prospect Ben Foakes called on as substitute fielder. Will he be this season's Garry Pratt? <laugh> <ok>

    I think the Aussies thought Pratt was the most aptly named sub in 2005!

    Their main problem was they'd been untouchable for years and they tried to outstay their ability! It caught up with them!

    England's first real test this series so far! I would probably put money on a draw if both get 450+ in the first innings. Unless we see an Aussie collapse this morning I fully expect them to sail past that figure. Isn't this ground quite well known for draws?

    Another classic use of the DRS from Australia <laugh>

    Completely losing the plot by reviewing a decision like that <ok>
