We were 188 when the second wicket fell! Utterly criminal.

All trying to take on the short ball. Like Broad yesterday when he should have just spent a couple of hours ducking, weaving and wearing a few whilst his captain was smashing boundaries at the other end. Madness.

Luckily, it seems to be contagious.

I think, to have any sort of reasonable chance, we should be bowling them out by the end of today, and restricting them to a lead of about 220 or so. If they bat deep into tomorrow — lunchtime or beyond — you're looking at a lead of 300, and it's over.
Along with the series.

Fucking Yorkshire weather! Probably the same in Lancashire, but it's always good to blame Yorkshire for something.
Blazing sunshine where I am (far north of France).

End of the day?
They're already on a lead of 142.
They'll be on a lead of 220 by lunchtime today if we don't get them out.
