If the ball not swinging or seaming then Eranga might be annoying to get out, he looks like he will just leave the ball and not look like scoring runs.

Loving the stereotypical office too cold / too warm ongoing battle in the TMS commentary box with the window being opened and closed depending if Swann or Vaughan are there or Tuffers, Aggers or the Sri Lankan commentator.

Good old fashioned quick bowling from Jimmy

A few short ones then pitch it up and the off stump goes flying

Fivefer for Jimmy

with england having to bat again, which appeared unlikely, i would find it funny if cook scored 4 or less

I think Nick Compton may be feeling a little nervous

Hiding to nothing with possibly a 20* against a cheap dismissal

( providing he gets in , of course)

79 to win

nice little piece of symbolism there as cook goes to 10,000 test runs with a shot that just crawled to the boundary and reached with its last turn

well done alastair cook

Just checked and as I suspected, Cook went to top of the youngest scoring landmarks list after that 2010/11 Ashes series to blast from 6000 to 7000 runs displacing Tendulkar who holds the records up to that point.

Do England play more tests than everyone else?

I mean he's predicted to get the most runs ever with an average of mid-40s perhaps, yet Ponting, Sangakarra, Tendulkar, Lara, Kallis all have had averages way into the 50s and will score a lot less.

Just seems a bit odd.

england do play more tests on average but opening batsmen tend to have fewer not outs so that means a lower average

Interestingly enough Joe Root will likely surpass him if he keeps his average above 50 and plays into his 30s, big if of course but something to watch out for.

Same way is Jimmy leading wicket taker title will probably be taken from him by Broad eventually.

I've never seen a frontline Test batsman make batting look as much of an ordeal as Compton does.

yeah i always think watching compton that he just tries to avoid getting out and if he happens to score any runs whilst doing so its more by accident than intent

broad is only 4 years younger than anderson and has had alot more injury problems so it might be asking alot for him to catch the 110 wickets he is currently behind plus however many more anderson gets over the next couple of years

i wouldn't be surprised seeing anderson play to he is 35+, dont think i could say the same about broad
