edit: dammit, cursed him.

Cya Broad. Screw you and your irritating 4s.

Six wickets for Harris now!

 

[matthewhotdude]

Keep it up Bresnan

 

[mmj_uk]

It looks like Bresnan is stepping up, queue him getting out...

 

[physichull]

The last few are certainly helping the cause a bit with these 4's.

He may as well play like this, he's running out of partners

 

[Cosimo]

14 runs off the over. 289-8.

 

[Sankari]

Crikey, three 4s in a row from Bresnan!

 

[One More Solo]

Yep, could get an unplayable ball at any point so might as well smash it around while you can.

 

[ringo747]

What a shot from Big Bres!

 

[el_dazza]

I think a lead of 290 should make it difficult enough. I'll be surprised if we get to 322 though.

Crikey there's a lot of fours coming thick and fast

 

[Cosimo]

Bresnan on fire now, Swanny joins in, 300-8.

 

[matthewhotdude]

haha love Botham after his twitter abuse about his shops comment on Saturday

 

[Pighardia]

I completely forgot that it started on Friday, so this is only day 4!

 

[matthewhotdude]

The commentators keep saying the longer the game goes on the harder it is to get runs, but it seems the opposite

238 270 and now 308

 

[Sankari]

England's lead will be >300 at this rate. No way we can chase that.

 

[physichull]

I completely forgot that it started on Friday, so this is only day 4!

And hopefully the last day too!

 

[Pighardia]

Gotta love Swanny when he comes in for these brief slogs

 

[duc999]

Be fun watching the convicts bat on this viper of a pitch

 

[Yas786]

LOL Bresnan almost has his half century...yet again the Aussie bowlers having trouble getting one of the tailenders out.

Will be interesting to see how the Aussies bat in the 2nd innings, when they finally get in. Need a few of their batsmen to get some big scores otherwise its game over for them and they go 3-0 down.
