BBC text always waits to the end of the over.
And I get the idea the guys too busy trying to be witty to report what's going on. Still, it's a good read.
302-7, should be elementaryl now. Give Anderson a go to get his confidence up a notch perhaps.

the cricinfo text commentary is better.
as much as i dislike boycott at times, he does know a bit about cricket - if only they could gag him and only let him talk about specific cricket matters and not other nonsense.
anderson is an enigma...i kind of like him but you can see his confidence vanish as soon as he gets hit for a boundary. once he goes for a couple, he can't bowl the right length.
i'd hoped sidebottom might get three more wickets for another ten-for but it looks unlikely now, shame.

I was thinking earlier, our tail is suddenly looking rather tasty, what with Broad emerging as a Batsman as well as a bowler, Flintoff recovering, Ambrose looking capable and Adil Rashid coming along nicely.
If we could get Simon Jones back to his best, would we have a claim for the best tail around?

You're not one of these folks who thinks that Rashid will be ready in a year to eighteen months then? I haven't seen much of him at all but he seems to be accompanied by a fair amount of hype. I guess that's natural for an English leg spinner though, lest he go the way of Chris Schofield.
What's Shreck like, not seen much of him at all.

Vettori's a pretty decent batsman, why doesn't he bat higher up? He's certainly shown more than Bell (of the NZ variety) and Sinclair.
