Good session for England, 100 runs without a wicket lost. Kick on from here with 350 being the minimum expectation IMO.

Next 20 overs before the second new ball is the time to capitalise and work the bowling around.

I called 350 earlier but think there are runs to be had and 400 is more the aim now...but I guess the real bonus would be to get through the final session without damage and be starting tomorrow with 7 wickets still in tact.

It was important to get through that session without losing any wickets, good work from Collingwood and Pietersen, let's hope they can make them suffer a bit before facing the new ball this evening.

very good session Pieterson delivers again for us. Collingwood deserves praise nopt been in the best of form but still battled through and kept going just need them to keep going another 30 overs and we will be in a good posistion then

Yup, need to make hey before the new ball becomes available.

KP is playing very unKPlike, he must have been tempted to smash Hauritz but did well to resist, today is not the day for losing a daft wicket trying to slog the spinner out of the ground.

He has took the responsibilty on himself to be the person who stays there and not give hes wicket away. Hes doing a great job of it get us anopther 100 runs then i would love too see him take it to them

One day you might be able to add something worthwhile, sensible, literate and legible to this thread. One day.


And I'm glad to see KP is actually batting properly. It just goes to show that, when he does this, he's one of the best there is. It's certainly better than seeing him smash a quick 30/40 and then f*ck it up.

Keep it up you South African get.
