il see what i can do il have to look around.

cook almost caught at short leg of harbi.
 
100 up for england as KP flicks kumble delivery into leg side.
 
Well 100 up for 2 wickets. Can't complain at that. Good effort lads.
 
Pietersen needs to stay there and guide Cook through. I think this is the big partnership for us now.
 
KP needs to hit Habhajan for a few sixes like Afridi and that will have Dravid scrathcing his head
 
Cook needs another 50 on top of the one he already has. He is a great talent.
 
gone this time.... put him into some pressure, a shortish one tempting the pull - all over the ball
 
what the hell was he doing there. In tatters now England. (when you put it in the context of the pitch)
 
swingin it shree man not like pathan if the pitch doesnt do something he becomes a liablity.

Alistar Bawarchi .. reminds me of nick knight
 
not a clean action, and I think Pathan is not happy with his success, Pathan kinda looked peeved when Srisanth took out KP.
 
England 157/4 (59 ov)

Now its Tea

60.2 Sreesanth to Flintoff, FOUR, straighter line on off stump and
flintoff meets it with the full face of the bat and times the ball
superbly to the long-off fence.
 
60.6 Sreesanth to Flintoff, FOUR, short ball and Flintoff rocks onto the
back foot and powers it through midwicket for four. There was a
fielder in the deep but he had no chance to cut it off.
 
62.6 Sreesanth to Flintoff, FOUR, outside off stump and Flintoff prods
at it, gets a thick outside edge that runs through the slip cordon
for four

England 178/4 (63.2 ov)
 
good batting so far from Freddie, need to get out of defensive mindset which ll hurt Eng badly
 
Flintoff, Collingwood and Jones (when he comes in) are all due runs, hopefully they can make an impression. I doubt Eng will make 400 like Boycs always demands, but the total should be competitive.
 
66.4 Kumble to Flintoff, FOUR, tossed up and bang. Flintoff biffs it
back over Kumble's head for four.

England 194/4 (67.0 ov)
 
This partnership shows a lot of promise for us. I like this cricket Flintoff and Collingwood are playing, they are not getting too excited but still keeping the bowling at bay with some aggressive shots. How it should be.
 
ball that got flintoff out looked like it was missing leg stump!!!!!
 
Way down the legside but was given out.

Poor descision.
 
84.5 Kumble to Collingwood, SIX!!, comes down the track and hammers it between midwicket and long on and that brings up the 3rd Test FIFTY!! for Collingwood, fine innings under pressure

Colly playing real well here...

Let's hope he can bat well with the tail and England can reach 300.
 
Its up to Colly to make sure that England get the 3-0 that they werent able to in Pakistan
 
With all the fuss over injuries its the replacements who have done the job since Collingwood and Cook were the ones who were to miss out.

It's the likes of Strauss and Flintoff and to a lesser extent Pietersen who haven't delivered in the subcontinent - and they are the problem at the moment.

I am hoping for a Pietersen special soon..
