From the BBC "So Broad can bat and bowl, but how many pints can he down? Likely still a few short of Fred"

5 down now

If it was me........ once they passed the follow-on mark I'd have bowled under arm or whatever it took to avoid batting today.

Wow what a night, I just couldn't leave the TV to post incase I missed another wicket.

After many beers I was outside the house having a smoke at about 04:00 and gave the idea of hanging the Flag of St George on the front of the house some serious consideration, giving my neighbours something to look at in the morning but didn't want to tempt fate

Their moaning about a doctored pitch this morning pmsl, if they had won the toss and batted we would be the one's grumbling I guess.

Off to the pub with my Aussie mate tonight, better put on my best Aussie accent lol

a lead of 264 now, they are going to have to make history to win now. The previous biggest 4th inning total was 263.

Been out at a children's party all day


Followed it on my mobile and have been mighty impressed with Trott. Nice temperament, proper test player should do well in future tests. Keep him drop Bell is what I say

Bell shows once again that he only has 1 innings per series in him, ****

Surely, SURELY we've got this in the bag now

We didn't think it at the time but just think how important our 2nd innings at Cardiff is now. We may have thrown the match but to save a draw was miraculous and has saved our bacon.

Unless the pitch reverts to day 1 and 2 form we could get bitten on the **** !

You're nervous aren't you

2 of the convicts are on the boat back already, we'll be fine. Just think of the first day back at work with a Strauss mask and a replica of the 'urn on the front of your car
