England v Australia - Second Ashes Test - Lord's

So what's a good score on this pitch? I have no idea how the pitch is playing, I was at work all yesterday :( I reckon Broad and Swann can put on at least 50 together. This is going to be a class test match.

The wicket looks to have a bit more life in it that yesterday,the air is damp and the fast bowlers may get a bit of swing.
If we can get 420-450 I think we have a good target to bowl at.
Strauss gettiung out was a real blow and so early.
Anything over 400.
Get out bowler at the Aussie batmen and we could do OK ,everything depends on the rain keeping off.
 
We'll do well to reach at this rate and i'm afraid that is well short of the mark but i'm certain our bowlers can't have as bad a first day as the Aussies'.
 
425 all out. Decent score.

From where we were yes but the next six hours will put it in its proper context.

Need our attack to match their admirable efforts with the bat as of late. Fair bit of responsibility on Anderson.
 
I've a feeling England are going to win this. Addict how much have you put on?
 
Fear not they'll be back when we fck it up :D

Right now we're in pole position due to a lot of luck with Onions and some good bowling

If we keep keep them pegged to under 280 / 300 we should beat them

however we are the England cricket team so.......
