LOL WTF??...dude thats just not right unless your inclined that way
Anyways Aussies coming back into this now with England doing the great batting collapse that they are known so well for lol.
333-6...change of fortunes there..at least Strauss has decided to show up and bat...excellent century from him.
Johnson hasnt bowled at all well but now is starting to do some damage...221-1 at one point and now look at them
. Aussie bowlers havent looked all that dominatinng today with their bowling...some wayward bowling by Johnson...his economy stinks lol...but hes got a couple of wickets so is starting to bowl better.Feel sorry for Flintoff as its his final test at Lords...out of all the english cricketers i like him the most and is a shame hes decided to hang up his test boots but injuries have more or less killed off his test career.

I am inclined that way
Meh I thought things were going too well, well I suppose with the weather thats forcast tomorrow a draw is still on the cards

If we get decent knocks from the middle-low order again this'll be a rather healthy total. I haven't actually seen any of the play today but it's unlikely it'll be as easy to bat on as Welshshire.
Why cant we dominate like other teams do, we always seems to slump. Im not saying our score in unrespectable but its no domination.
We did dominate the Aussies over in Adelaide once. Oh hang on..

Blue skies in the City, probably means it's heading this way though

What time is kick-off?
Soldato
11am I think 
*edit*
Heh, forgot I had Sky Player for a moment there - looks bright with a few clouds but should be on time to start

It is 11, the forecast is fine for the first 2 sessions then rain in the evening.
Looks lovely there at the moment

Predictions? I'd like to see us get to 450 with a Strauss double-century.
Then it's of highest importance that Ponting doesn't get a century at Lords, in either innings, again

If we can scrape to 425 I'd be happy as I don't think it's going to be that easy batting today, obviously we should've been looking at at least 500+ but...

Strauss bowled 2nd ball
Soldato
Indeed! What's Onions like with the bat, haven't seen him - he's last obv. but any better than Panesar?
*doh* Playing no shot too!

The ball's swinging so at least there's some comfort.
