England v Sri Lanka - 2nd Test - Edgbaston

[mrtbag]

Come on England.

Sri Lanka have won the toss and elected to bat first. Lets hope Hoggy has another new ball moment.

[mrtbag]

Hoggard gets a wicket in the first over. Sweet.

[mrtbag]

Plunkett takes 2 wickets in the 8th over.

Sri lanka are now 16-3.

I take it I'm the only one watching!!

[mista]

We need to finish them off this time

[mrtbag]

Hoggard gets another wicket in the 13th over.

Sri Lanka 25-4 (we've caught 3 today chaps, no drops yet).

[DJT75]

Just taken the afternoon off work & I'm off until Tuesday. I know what i'll be watching now

[mrtbag]

I've just done the same DT. Going home at 12:30. Will have to pop in for a couple of hours tomorrow, but hopefully before play kicks off. Let's hope the weather behaves itself.

[Opticon]

Well, it's another good start, but we made a good start last time! lets just hope we can finish well this time.

[mrtbag]

Plunkett again - 46-5

[t-force]

Well - bit of a stubborn partnership on the 9th, but I'll take 141 all out any day. Let's hope that the pitch is nice to our batsmen, and that they can go for a really high total. I think with the weather as it is, we've got to aim for defeat by an innings.

Did anyone else notice David Gower say "those of you lucky enough to have a brand new spanking High Definition box" ? slight wrong order of words there David I think
Whilst on the subject of Gower, the way he says "gone" is definately getting worse now, there are even more letter a's in it the way he says "he's gaaaaan".
Yes I'm in a picky mood

Yeesh! Bit of a shocking tail end! Still, credit to Pietersen for a cracking innings - scoring on his own more than Sri Lanka could manage between them. Now let's hope Liam's on the kind of form he was in yesterday.
