Enforce the follow-on. For our Antipodean brethren the humiliation will be unbearable.

I'm surprised at that, I 'd have thought making them follow on would have been a better option. Doesn't seem like the pitch is deteriorating much.

Nice to see them picking up the run-rate a bit. England could do with a decent lead and having an half-hour bowling at them tonight.

Even with some rain expected tomorrow, I doubt England will declare this evening. They are fairly motoring along now though.

EDIT: Prior just run out for 61 via a direct hit. England are 260/5, and 470 ahead. Flintoff in now, how long will he last? :levi:

It looks like the orders are to hit everything for a boundary and pile on as many runs as possible as quickly as possible. Flintoff and Collingwood are making hay.

311-6. A good performance from England again. (IMHO)

Some rain at Lord's this morning, so England have declared. Play to start around 11:15. :levi:

Bit of a niggling partnership going at the moment. Could do with a flash of brilliance from someone. 230/5
