Good work from the rookies (clap) as the two big guns misfired.

I hope that innings may be the making of James Vince who I feared was going to be a modern day Mark Ramprakash.

I agree with Jason: honours about even. Shame on him for falling asleep mind in such an important real game of cricket. (n)

I had planned to only watch the first over! Fortunately tonight's stuff starts early, so I can watch a good hour or so before hitting the hay.

Good start, managed to make it until the lunch break before turning in....

Vince batted well & Stoneman battled away.

Need to bat all day today now.

Bollox. We are subsiding. :mad:

Are we just ahead ? Shame about the Strine's 5th wicket recovery. Thought we might roll them over for <200. Early wickets in the morning required.

Honours even I'd say. The first session tomorrow will be crucial.

Now safely converted to HF68
Yep agreed very evenly poised couple of early wickets swings our way but if they continue to dig in and build the partnership could go the other way.
Hopefully the break between days will favor us more and our bowlers come out all guns blazing in the morning
