Is it just me or is Watson visibly limping? Stil bowling brilliantly though, looks dangerous

He's clearly still pissed that he had to give Trott out and is loving with Erasmus.

Remember Agar also gets very, very late swing. Too tough to call for the umpire as the ball looked like it just swung extremely late into Haddin's gloves.

It really obviously deviates on the replay, and there is a spot of heat. It was really out.

Well that's what happens when you waste reviews. Still gutting though. Of all the blokes to take the game away from us, Bell and Broad. Ugh.

What would be the prevailing wisdom for a plan for England here? Bat out the day then go as long into tomorrow session to allow Broad/Bell a chance to hit the nearest 50/100 before declaring? Or just let everyone bat since you still have the better portion of two days to bowl out the Aussies so you may as well let them run around in the field as much as possible before batting?

Correction, random emailer into the TMS inbox, Broad should be dropped because he's poo poo, not because of a non-walk

Broad is basically Flintoff, but whereas Flintoff concentrated all his good performances into about 18 months from the start of the 2004 season, Broad is spacing his out evenly throughout his career.

I've managed to miss most of the last 2 days, but I'm glad I haven't watched any of it today. Its the sort of innings that gets Boycott tumescent.

Clearly England wouldn't ever say they would never, ever declare or Australia could just let England score a billion runs and never even have to worry about putting themselves in a position to lose by batting. I don't follow a lot of test cricket because it is usually on at an inconvenient time so I'm not really clear where that sweet spot is for declaring.

When you're comfortably in front and the pitch starts getting poo poo. It depends on the captain. If you're 500 runs in front in any test it's not really worth continuing to go on as you still need to get 20 wickets. I'd be surprised if England declared, one of the Australians will remember how to bowl I think. But after the lead got to 250 in this one it was p much over already. Also I wasn't super duper mad (just bemused) at the Broad decision until Nasser said he showed 'great courage' to stay there. he was just being an arsey twat and got lucky.

England will probably aim for 300, but it's more likely that Broad & Swann will have spastic swipes at terrible deliveries and get caught at gully. I reckon Austrialia can actually bowl at tail-enders (or at least, Clarke will tell them what to do), so I doubt Finn & Anderson will last long, either.
