It's a real shame about Carberry.

119 for 0 at lunch. Extraordinary. But I await a collapse!

It is very disappointing - we need a lot of changes.

Words fail. Pathetic.

With a bit of luck we might manage a draw.

What is the matter with our batting, bowling, fielding and general approach to matches??

We're now 13 for 2 with our two top scoring batsmen in the first innings out already. What is the matter with our batting?

Well we didn't get the quick wickets, alas.

The players just don't seem quite good enough in the CC. We really need to get a few wins under our belt.

Well Carberry is 125 not out at the moment against lancs

Carberry 125 - time for that England call up?!

All over - with swann top scoring. We need some sensible changes for the oval, but I am not sure the selectors are up to it.

487 for 4 - we could lose this if we aren't careful.

Very very poor - without AF and KP we look a bunch of losers. Poor old Andrew Strauss as captain just makes a bad situation worse.

I was pleasantly surprised and thought we played some good football. The penalty decision was very harsh and we should have had a free kick when they got the corner that led to the goal. Harding looked very good - and so did paterson - we might have found a decent centre forward!

It's now 343 for 3 - why doesn't Dawson get more overs?

Well i was pleasantly surprised and thought we played pretty well for a group that are still finding out about each other. Lots of encouraging stuff - eg Harding, Paterson, Schneiderlin

Yes the bowling line up looks weak - lancs close on 106 for 1.

337 for 9 - 50 partnership from the last two!

274 for 7 - Burrows is no Pothas when it comes to batting is he?

Better - 263 for 5 while England collapse at Leeds

Now 212 for 5 - our batting is too brittle and inconsistent.

It is totally ridiculous - but then football is run by totally ridiculous people. A bit like the country.

144 for 2 - raining

99 for 1 at the moment. Weather forecast doesn't look good for later today. I am surprised they have dropped Lumb.
