    we really are useless aren't we <laugh>

    Let's just hope we can get to within 70odd of their score, then they take ages to score a decent total and we can just bat it out for a draw...

    Root hundred.
    Good work from Jimmy providing support and scoring runs to take some of the pressure off him as well

    A couple of early wickets tomorrow could make things interesting. I'd fancy England chasing anything around 300 to win.

    It'd have to be quite a collapse tomorrow but there's been two unreal last wicket stands in this match most unusual

    The pitch is so dead I don't get how some lads got out to balls like bell for example. Fair play to root for taking advantage

    Dream day for Anderson but he'll be f'd tomorrow

    Draw was always likely day one and is still most likely noe

    Was there today.

    First two sessions great, anticipation of a Jimmy ton.

    Final session though, first time in a long time I've left an hour early. Dreadful all round.

    Be interesting if we get set say 250 from 50 overs. Turn into a one day game. Still wouldn't fancy our chances of scoring quickly enough to do it.

    Maybe 200 from 50/60

    Yeah but we still have to take into account the inevitable last wicket partnership of 100 <ok>
