England v South Africa - 1st Test @ Lord's

Poor old Belly, out on 199 - the first Englishman in history to go on that score (I think). England declare on 593-8.

The first Englishman, but the seventh in Test cricket overall. Jason Gallian, now of Essex but with Nottinghamshire at the time, was run out for 199 twice for the Trent Bridge side during the 2005 season!

I think Mike Atherton was also run out for 199 and it was his highest first class score.

Spare a thought also for Martin Crowe out on 299, and Sir Donald Bradman who was not out on 299, both instances in Test Cricket.
 
1152 - WICKET - Amla c Ambrose b Broad 6 - SA 28-2 (15 overs)
The tourists still trail by 566 runs as Broad begins a new over to McKenzie, and the youngster is working up a bit of pace. McKenzie ushers the ball away for a leg-bye as keeper Tim Ambrose gives chase. Then, as Amla half-heartedly fends at one outside off-stump, he gets a slight nick into the welcoming gloves of Tiny Tim behind the timbers and Broad's line and length is rewarded with a wicket.
 
1344 - WICKET - McKenzie b Panesar 40 - SA 83-4 (30.1 overs)
McKenzie tries to turn the first ball of Monty's over off his legs, and is bowled round his legs as it hits his leg stump. When Monty eventually realises what's happened, he's delighted - and so will his captain be.
 
Pretty impressive bowling performance by England so far has reduced the Saffers to 191/7. Looks like they will be following on, hopefully tonight, I would love to see Smith out twice in the same day.
 
203-8.

Just like to point something out -

SA extras: 15nb, 7w, 14b, 12lb

Eng extras: 2w, 1b, 4lb

Their bowling - bloody rubbish!
