A ton for Strauss! Is this a return to the pre-2007 form for him? He's playing well, and maybe Cook could learn from the second half of Strauss' innings, his 50-100 conversion has been appalling lately. Shah on 20, England 180/1.

Oh dear. Shah is run out. He was looking good, too. A hundred was on the cards. He goes for 57. Strauss is on 158, England are 276/2.

Still respectable Yeah, and his wicket shouldn't be of great consequence because England are heading for a massive score, but it is always dissapointing to see a batsman playing well get run out.

England finish the day on 301-3. Strauss went for 169 shortly before the close. KP and Anderson saw out the remaining couple of overs.

Thats a good first day by anyone's standards.
Strauss as captain is batting superbly for 169.
Lets hope KP can hit some big runs quickly. Anderson is obv night watchman!

Play underway on day 2.
Anderson's done the decent thing and got himself out of there early to make way for Collingwood, who's scoring very quickly.
351-4

Yeah the pitch is just started to keep low now. Tell you what they've done bloody well with this wicket at 2 days notice.
