Southern toffs for you sipping their champers and eating fondue.

We need to break this partnership soon. 26 runs added. If they get another 20-30 runs, it'll be getting twitchy.

Has the feeling of Warne and Lee at Edgbaston in 2005

Edit or maybe not

Sounds like it's in Mumbai, never mind London, mind you tells you all you need to know about London these days as well, but that's for another thread

I'm still ever so slightly uneasy with Jadeja still in. He's a stubborn bugger. But basically, there isn't a team on earth that I'd back to get 81 runs with their last two wickets, on the fifth day, in the fourth innings, on a pitch that's misbehaving. It just shouldn't happen.

Lords is Lords. It's always going to have the pop of champagne bottles and the older purist fans who sit there quietly chatting to each other. The only time it's ever been anything different is the Bairstow run out in the Ashes - even the MCC old boys got feisty that day.

The Oval is a great atmosphere and would be much more like the atmosphere you get at Edgbaston etc.

Common at the two London grounds for visiting teams' fans to be the most vociferous. You should have heard the West Indians in their pomp. I didn't see them in the eighties, but I did see them at Lords and the Oval in the late sixties and seventies. Steel bands, and all kinds of racket going on. Very raucous. Some good backchat to the outlying fielders on the boundary too.
Great fun…
