Well the way I look at it, you expected Bell to get out and he did. So if I say KP will get a century...

England 144-5 (Pietersen 52, Collingwood 0)
Another six from Pieterson there! Brilliant stuff, but he needs to stick around for another 10-15 overs.
Having said that, he nearly gets himself caught next ball.

Pietersen's playing like it's a one-dayer!
160-5. 16 off that over!
I'm too nervous... I'm going to have to watch Neigbours instead.
Colliflower's doing a decent job holding the other end up...
Warney's stopping midpitch for a chat after every ball
Colly gets off the mark... Should have creamed it for four though.
A 'chat'? First time I heard it called that MR
feck. feck. feck. feck. feck. feck.
feckity feck.

What's this about then?

I'm so nervous...
Phew... Neighbours has started. Distraction.

Warne gets hit for 10 off that over. Excellent stuff.

You got Tourettes or something?
175-5 .That's a fifty partnership between Collyflower and KP.
181-5 (Pietersen 78, Collingwood 5)
OK... Neighbours is over. Anything interesting happen? Big appeals, big shots, contoversy?
nealn said:
Yep all of those and more. Go and put some money on Collyflower to score the slowest 50 in test match history...
The whole ground and the players are now applauding Richie Benaud, who retires after this match.
"One Richie Benaud! There's only one Richie Benaud!"
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Bugger!
Colly is proving the selectors right. He's doing exactly what is needed of him stay there block the ball eat up the overs.
How many overs were schedualed for today. Cricinfo says there are still 62 to bowl, at this rate that will be midnight

That's 10 wickets for the match for Warne. How many times has he done that?
More importantly, what are the Aussies going to do without him?

If these two attack like they usually do then either we'll lose another wicket very quickly or get a quick 50-60 runs.
Collyflower just got out for 10 LB. Keep up!

Let's hope it's the runs then!

He stayed around for a long time. Time not runs is critical
All the overs will be bowled since its upto Batting side to come off and fielding side has no power and aussies will keep on batting till the last bowl is bowled.Looking Busy said:
I still remember English batting in almost picth dark, chasing 160 odd against Pakistan to win the series.
Looking Busy said:
I think they can carry on playing till 7 today, light permitting.
mojo said:
Who cares
It's starting to cloud over a little but, but it's still pretty bright down here
Looking Busy said:
Disagree. England can win this still. It could all go pear-shaped if they start playing negatively now. After all they got themselves into this position by playing positive cricket and they shouldn't cahnge that now.
Mind you, I won't be complaining if they block out every ball of the 60-odd overs that are left!
mojo said:
Not all that often. Over the years he's had to compete with both McGrath and Gillespie for the wickets.
That's his 10th 10 wicket match haul.
You can sense the Aussies are getting a bit desperate now. They were just about to put Tait on to bowl then until McGrath took the ball for one last over.
Looking Busy said:
That's some performance.
I'm going to miss not seeing him bowl again.
