He needs a score of over 93 to get his average over 50.

Which idiot at at Sky decided Andrew Strauss was the kind of charismatic and interesting guy they needed commentating on the Ashes?

Warner out for 6 after 9 balls against the Zimbabwe Select XI by the way. He should stick to punching children in my opinion.

Let me preface this by saying Bairstow shouldn't be out. It was a no ball but it should have been called on the field. I honestly think either every dismissal is checked or make it so the on field umpire can't check for no balls. They've checked half a dozen or more this series for one error. Maybe I'm old fashioned but I don't like this mission creep with technology. Calling a no ball is pretty simple. If there was no wicket England would have been robbed of a run because the umpire can't do his job.

They seem to have one bowler per series that they pick on to check all their wickets. I remember Broad getting most of his dismissals checked for no balls against South Africa I think.

I always found that having to quickly flick your eye-line back up to the play after checking the no-ball was where most of the difficulty of decision making came from. On top of the fact that there's no slow-mo for the umpire and feet slide around and lines get scuffed up etc.

The third umpire should check, they don't do anything else 99% of the time.

I was looking forward to a disaster when I turned on the game at 18/0 in just a few minutes saw England manage only 10 more runs for the loss of three wickets. Frankly I'm a little disappointed that this match isn't already in its second innings. Why is day five set for a Monday? Is that a holiday there or something?

Getting the decisions right at the other end is a lot more important than being a hawk over no-balls.

Could not some sensor be installed to just buzz when a bowler over steps

I'm still new to cricket, so I'm going to ask some pretty dumb questions I'm sure. Apologies in advance. What is a good target for England? Obviously, "as many runs as they can get!", but, 225/4 sounds pretty good from the little I know. Does it end up getting harder to get runs as it gets further along in an inning due to fatigue or batsmen stopping caring as much? I guess what I'm asking is more like "Is 300/325/whatever a good target for England, or do a bunch of wickets usually tend to fall in the early to mid 200s?" Maybe there just isn't any sort of pattern like that. I can't actually watch this since I'm at work, but I'm following the liveupdates on Cricinfo. On it, I have figured out (I think) what all the info in the status box at the top is except for the * with the batsmen/bowler. Is it just who is bowling to who? Seems like the simplest thing, but I thought I saw that not match up earlier. Last dumb question, how many overs are typically seen in a day?
