And another one FFS. 370-8, 6-2 so far this morning. No doubt the ineptitude of our bowlers will be exposed within half an hour

378-9, 14-3 so far today in 3 overs. Useless.
It was 267-2, so that's seven wickets thrown away for 111 runs.

After Bopara, England's batsmen have all been out for powers of two: 32, 16, 8, 4, 16, 4... Onions is on 11 now so must make it to 16 at least. Anderson on 4, so major danger

425 all out, dissapointing after such a great start but probably better than we could have hoped for after going down to 378-9

Yep i'd totally agree with you there! Anderson again inspiring with the bat!

Australia all out for 215 this morning but England HAVEN'T enforced the follow-on.
Possible reasons:
Flintoff's dodgy knee Conditions possibly starting to favour the batsmen Broad bowling like an absolute spoon again
Yesterday's session-by-session: Morning: Eng 61-4, Aus 22-2 (England's session) Afternoon: Aus 65-0 (Australia's session) Evening: Aus 69-6 (England's session)

Well, England 57-0 at lunch after just 13 overs (a quick bit of mental arithmetic tells me that's a run rate of about 4.35) seems to back up the decision not to enforce the follow-on.

Strauss and Cook both out for 32, continuing the 'powers of two' theme...

Rain abandons play at 311-6 putting England 521 runs infront with two days left. I think maybe try and get another quick 50 in the morning (hopefully giving Flintoff) a half century before having a dozen or so overs bowling before lunch...

I assume the weather forecast will have been another factor in the decision not to enforce the follow-on. It looks like the next two days may see several interruptions.

I think we'll bat till lunch, that may be stretching it a bit but we may have been bowled out by then anyway.
