Yes, it will contain spoilers - so look away now if you are waiting for the highlights programme.

326-6 at the close - lead of 261
England win last session pretty convincingly - is 261 already enough?
... possibly, but being a greedy pom I'd like another 50 or so tomorrow morning.
Really good knock from Ian Bell - hope he gets to his 100 first thing and then motors on for another hour or so.
A great test match so far and it all starts again tomorrow at 11am - don't be late :+)

All the furore over Broad is laughable. As Sir Geoffrey of Boycott says, apart from Gilly how many times have you seen an Aussie walk in similar circumstances?
I've read Nasser Hussain's book and as he always said: It's not my job to walk, that's for the umpire to decide. Right or wrong these happen in every series and invariably even themselves out, as with Agar and Trott yesterday.
Fascinating weekend in prospect and Swann ought to prove decisive.
Just gutted I can't watch Ch 5 or 5 On Demand in the South of France!

the Aussies don't seem to have complained about Dar's decision. As a race of non-walkers, they're not really in a position to do so.
All the same, England's claim that you should just let the umpires do the deciding reminds me of Bell being given out against India, and captain and coach going to the Indian dressing room to lean on their guests to withdraw their appeal... which they did. Bit of hypocrisy there, I think.

Oh dear. Maybe Holding can instill a little more 'spirit of the game' into the West Indies side after the Ramdin debacle(which was out and out cheating) or maybe he can move from punditry to umpiring.
Dar is generally very reliable but had a mare on this one. Unfortunately we'll never get 7 or 8 Simon Taufel's but the ICC may have to have a word and maybe a spot of re-training for Dar.
