Don't get too excited too soon. England can easily collapse from here.

They have had a good day though 🙂

True they can collapse.
But they don't have Shoaib Akhtar who is probably the guy who could inspire it.
And it would have to be a pretty awful collapse (a bit like Pakistan's).

And of course there is the second innings where England have to bat last against their spinners.

So dar so good for the poms....
2 down & ahead of Pakistan...

Key to the game will be what sort of lead they can get.
I reckon they will get about 200 run lead which should be enough for @ least a draw.

And now both MahelaJ and KumasS have passed 150 and heading for 200.
Partnership around 350

Who would've thought SA's bowling could actually be worse than that batting performance?

Maybe Arthur forgot to stress again before the game started that we need more runs when batting and less runs when bowling.
These players are so easily confused.

Is Warne going to make one final appearance for you guys?
I hope so, what a legend.

Warne will play I think.
More doubt about McGrath, he hasn't played since the last Ashes, I don't think.
100 for Cook, Colly out just before his 50.
288/4 so far.
