Punter has been fined 40% of his match fee. What a puke. He's a really poor sportsman and now that he's not riding on the coattails of the golden generation his mental iffyness is exposed. Very good player, but the strain of being lumped with a load of ordinary joes is showing.

Colly should be dropped, he's offering nothing.

The rest of the batsmen, bar Bell, have played very, very well! Surely a win is on the cards!?

Good glad he got fined it was pathetic and more than a little desperate.
Yep with some nice weather on the way and the pitch starting to crack up the scene is set for Swann to destroy them.

[ShadowDancer]

Roll on tonight, man I needed that lay in.

[Neil]

I'm loving this Swann is batting superb!
Game is ours now surely?

[ShadowDancer]

Game was long ours and you know that! don't worry.

Well, thats the tail wrapped up and Lunch is underway.

Lead of 400+. We'll be too good. I'm not being overly confident. We'll wrap this up.

[Neil]

I'm confident too anything other than an England win and I'll get completely smashed!.....No wait.

[ShadowDancer]

Just the one wicket fallen for them. Play now resumed after tea, 95/1.

Strauss far too conservative, again. again. again. Idiot.

EDIT - Watson LB 99/2. Get in.

[Neil]

Omg get in Ponting gone!

[ShadowDancer]

Brilliant is this.

[Neil]

Ashes ours

[Neil]

I'm friggin' knackered but the last few days have been well worth it!

Well done to the boys

[Neil]

Still watching this is anyone else?
Congratulations to Cook for another great knock he has been a rock.
Shame on Australia for celebrating a catch that never was and for some of their players not applauding Cook's century. Poor sportsmanship.

[GaryP]

Botham called it like it is - Hughes is a cheat. Well done Cook, of course a good old Essex boy

[Neil]

Nobodies perfect

[ShadowDancer]

Been brilliant
