1.3
Kumar to Cook, no run, once again I'm stunned by how far it's swinging. I imagine Cook is too
1.2
Kumar to Cook, no run, and again! Cook beaten! Kumar is swinging it a mile at no pace at all. Fascinating really
1.1
Kumar to Cook, no run, good grief! This has swung about 14 yards! Starts outside leg and snakes past the outside edge

Praveen Kumar looks a poor mans Jimmy Anderson.

yeah...
Too much swing for PK.
If only he had more pace...

Two maidens, this is not the time for England's openers to worry about runs. Survival is the key word.

3 consecutive maidens!!

i can't wait to see Anderson!!

i can't wait to see Anderson!!

Not today though

I think Bresnan would have been better than Broad on this wicket.

So they can't use DRS for checking where the ball pitched? Or where it hit? Or if there was an inside edge?

hmmm shame dhoni won the toss never mind.

Heres my observations

1. seems to be a bit of movement anybody else spotted it?
2. Zaheer Kahn has got himself a smart new hair cut.
3. Cook still looks in good form despite conditions
4. Wish they'd stop going on about DRS

The Indian bowlers are so far not taking advantage of the conditions. If they get their line right the batsmen will have big problems. With showers predicted, the whole day will be tough for batting.

yeah so far Kahn is bowling too straight and Kumar is stuggling to control the swing - conditions difficult for batsman they should be bowling at off stump

Kumar is one of the worst bowlers to place at Lords for 40 years.

I don't think Trott will relish these conditions and Pietersen as well. Similar to those in SA when both struggled.

haha shows what i know as cook is out lbw to a straight one from kahn - oh well never mind a walking wicket that cook bloody useless

Kumar is creating a great piece of rough for Harbhajan outside Stauss's off stump and Strauss is prone to lose out to spin.

Strauss making Dravid look explosive.

I think Bresnan would have been better than Broad on this wicket.



Kash
to be fair,bresnan would be better than broad on any wicket.

Lool,
Strauss falls to Zak once again. What a bunny!!!!
Looks like my predictions will turn out to correct.

Foolish shot from Stauss so early after lunch exposes the middle order too soon.

Without The Barrel bowling his little dobbers, the Indian attack look more toothless than an 80 year old sweet addict who's never visited a dentist.

50s for Trott and KP, india to throw in the towel by 6pm.

Just looked a score on sky score centre site - guess its now chucking it down & we're done for the day then...

We should get rid of the SouthAfricans asap. Else it is heading for a draw.
