personally i'd get back in a quick 150 on the board, rest our bowlers for a while they sound F*ckt! then declare and give a chance the windies could win it, overwise theyll just play for the draw
92 - 2. Shah and Cook together. A lead of 373. 35 /40 mins till lunch, so i would now be playing one day mode till lunch, and hopefully get a lead of 400 +. Then chuck them in. 40 % chance of rain tomorrow.
Anyone hear Boycott on TMS saying that he thought Flintoff would step down from test cricket after The Ashes to concentrate on one-dayers? That Fred's injuries wouldn't let him carry on any longer. Do you think he'll go down as a player that never quite achieved his full potential?
Swann has got Nash, four wickets to go...or the Windies have got to survive 33 overs. The Windies tail from here should *fold* but England have had problems finishing teams off recently...

I'd bat again and give the bowlers a couple of sessions off, score a quick 200 and then declare just after tea tomorrow.
Lunch soon. We should really declare but maybe they'll give it another half hour or so after lunch.
Freddys gone picked up a pair
but still the madness continues, harmissons been sent out - sky reckon theyre choosing the order by raffle from the hats
Windies need 503 to win but Flintoff not fully fit.
However the sun is now shining.
Has draw written all over it I reckon.
Get Sarwan and Chanderpaul out and the rest will tumble. Easier said than done though as they've now got 100 partnership.
Someone needs to do something a little bit special if we are to win.
Now or never!
244-4
