As good as the win was, England need to get their catching sorted, Strauss in particular.

Even still, great start for England!

England's catching will be fine,more catches are dropped at Lords than anywhere else.Balls seem to oscillate-I have similar issue when watching the babeshows,but that's another story or a whole new ball game to be more precise.

England 178-8

However Broad & Swann batting now, have so far put on a 50 partnership in just 42 balls. Have India let thier advantage slip ? Very odd field settings.
It will be interesting to see how India cope with this pitch.

Edit: 196-8

220 all out, should be a close match, england need to take early wickets especially laxman, dravid and tendulker before lunch would put england in strong position. if england have them at 120-4 at lunch then should have them all out mid afternoon for about 200.

what a great day of cricket that was today. Whilst i cannot see thos going to the fifth day it should be enthralling on saturday. Broad and Swann rescued england today because India's swing bowling was excellent and so was England's as well when India came out to bat.

I pissed myself when Pieterson got out,more concentration less posing dumbass

that was funny how when he was walking back to the dressing room he was blaming his poor shot dismissal on being distracted by the window covers since according to him they covers were not concealing the black background behind the window lol. When really that window cover was like that his whole innings.

I guess it was to much for him to admit that he was down by a beauty of an away swinger that nipped away from him off the seam when pitched back of a length to him since he likes to get down the crease and the indians worked out how to get him out by bowling a slightly shorter length to him.

It's shaping uo to be a great series!

Stuart Broad was fantastic both yesterday and today. Played well to give us a chance, and bowled immensely today. That hattrick was sublime!

Cook needs to go and have a word with himself in the mirror, this time last year he was amazing with the bat, not he can't hit for shit.

india 13-2 dravid ct prior b broad for 6 just before lunch laxman b anderson 0 straight after lunch, broad nees 3 more wickets to have 10 wicket haul after scoring of 100 runs.

india are 87-2 against northants in their tour game. sehwag lbw bowled burton. gambhir lbw bowled willey (david not peter)

Expect both to open the batting in the 3rd Test,replacing the injured Yuvraj Singh & Makund who struggled.They could both get a hit in the 2nd innings,lets hope they're short of runs going into the Test.
