KP and Collingwood are the masters.

Not many of us GAA head will admit to a love of cricket but I'm a big fan. Was lucky enough to get a ticket for the Saturday of the Lords test in 2005, an absolutely super day out.
C'mon Strayla!

Collingwood out for 64.

Its up to Kevin now.

Prior is pretty decent with the bat. Hopefully he can stay in and give the support to KP before Freddie comes in and starts swinging. Atherton was questioning his wicket keeping prowess a bit in last night's previews, but hopefully he'll do the business. Spin is really going to be a decisive factor around day 3 or 4 so he needs to be on the top of his game.

241 for 5. Bycott should be fun now

They have just being giving out about his wicket keeping on the bbc commentary just now.

Do England just bat until they have 10 men out regardless of how many overs they play and then Austraila begin the batting? I forget what way this test stuff works, too much 20/20 or 1 day on nowadays

The game lasts 5 days. Each day is a minimum of 90 overs.

Each team has 2 innings. Each innings can last as long as the batting team wishes (as long as they are not bowled out).

Hope that makes some sense.
