And the covers are on. Back to your seats lads :emoticon-0100-smile

No Archer, and Emilio Gay debuts as opener. Don't know much about him (Gay) but it's a great chance to stake a claim for that spot.
 
We seem to have picked up where we left off in terms of batting.

Good toss to win! Lets see both sides batting before we start slagging Eng off, won't be long now :emoticon-0101-sadsm
 
at tea: extras so far 6. brook went for 56. all the other batters: 56. 118/8.
 
Yeah, Lord's first innings under grey skies is always a nightmare. As bad if not worse than some of the more mentioned ones, like Headingley. Usually gets easier so I'll reserve any complaints for the second innings.
