1 gone!

The Kiwi batsmen were beginning to look settled.

On the TV I'm getting the bowlers speed was being displayed wrong. whoever or a computer was entering the speed in MPH in the KPH collumn and the conversion was rather odd!

Now corrected.

4th one, a little marginal, it looked high.

Edit to add: It was, just seen the replay.
Is it England's day for luck?

The Guardian has just quoted my thoughts!
Those first 10 overs of the England innings could redefine squeaky-bum time.
If we have lost no more than 1 wicket after 10 overs, we should walk it.

3 down, argh.
