Ravi batted at 6 in W.Indies. Top effort today. Still a lot of work to be done by England though to get in a satisfactory position.

Wasn't Vaughan still batting at 3 then, with Bell at 5 or 6?
Ravi was at 6 in the WIndies, which is why he was dropped next game when we went for 5 bowlers.
:D

Blimey chance number 5 goes down since Tea.

No doubt cue those peculiar claims that Lords is not an easy 'seeing' ground....

Yeah I think Gower said that for the sitter that Nash spilled, the hardest chance was the one to Benn in the gulley, but as he's about 6' 12" it came to him at a catchable height. ;)

...and number 6 goes begging, Benn tips one over the bar.
The WIndies finally hold onto one and we're in a spot of trouble here.
Interesting that Bresnan is coming in ahead of Swann.
Haven't seen Bresnan bat for some time, but I had Swann down as the more talented but I think Bresnan has been batting pretty high for Yorks. Actually I think Broad bats below Swann at Notts so maybe county batting should be ignored.
That wasn't the first significant stand between Bopara and Broad because there was this one which had me very excited as to the future of English cricket.
God knows why it took them nearly two years to be playing tests together.

Bresnan didn't last for long, Benn gets him lbw and Hawkeye suggests it would have gone over, I guess that makes up for earlier when Ravi may well have been given out.
I can't explain why it's take Bopara & Broad so long to bat together in tests, perhaps Miller or Moores could enlighten you.

Congratulations to Bopara. Top class innings today.

Anderson has just worn one from Edwards very reminiscent of the one he took from Steyn last summer.

Broad opens with a good over ... and is followed by Swann. Odd. Very odd.
