declare

Oh dear oh dear Mr Shillingford. Keep bowling that stuff and our Captain will keep hitting the fence. Strauss scoring in boundaries and races to 72 not out. KP just being KP and soon he will have a SR around the 100 mark for sure.

England 179 -2 and the difference is 191.

and the difference is 191

...and it's over to peter o sullivan

i mean christopher martin jenkins.

Enjoying watching Straussy bat JPB?

In the last 2 overs he has creamed a boundary throught the covers, straight driven a boundary to long on and now marmalised a boundary behind square and is looking in unbelievable form. KP just stood there watching the captain at the moment, but his turn will come

I told Ya

strauss sure is in form

Anyone going to switch the channel to watch penalty shoot out between udders and chefs in play-offs?

Thought about it but will prefer to watch Strauss continue to hit this chap Shillingford all around the park

And now he wallops Sammy to the ropes too. 9 to go and I hope he can do it tonight. Tomorrow is going to be a very long day for the Windies and I think they are going to give up the ghost at some point.

148 behind, 8 wickets in hand and a team full of free scoring batsmen that go right down to Andersen at 11.

Happy days

100 partnership between Strauss and KP

50 to KP marmalising that weak man Shillingford to the fence.

8 penalties and six have been missed after a goal less draw after 120 mins. Huddersfield Sheffield Utd
Good luck in our division and I think you might be back in League One pretty quickly.

Now they are all scoring and have had about 10 pens each

Strauss needs 2 for his hundred.

Well done Huddersfield on your promotion

5 overs to go today and Strauss still needs 2 runs, but it's KP who is hitting boundaries and catching him up

122 behind, and England are galloping along now.

strauss 100 up-

Grayson in the championship again, easy 6 points for Leeds next season

Andy Strauss - 100 not out

England 253 - 2

I remember landmarks like this coming up thick and fast against India and Australia also. Not long to the 150 partnership. 2 wickets down and our boys are settling into this series nicely now.

How ironic that Captain fantastic reached his century by hitting that pie chucker Shillingford to the fence. How often anyone?

I wonder if KP will be on twitter tonight and mentioning the windies pie chuckers?

I'd expect england to get a lead of probably 300 at some point tomorrow and declare......

I think we will declare but do you think we can get 300 ahead already tomorrow? It may take some T20 style hitting on the morning of the fourth day?

Either way, this series just ended today

Why not, england have put on 260 in 2 sessions here, only a 100ish behind..... Easy lead of 300 tomorrow..... two yorkshire lads to come in yet

Respect to Windies Afridi? England used to score that in one session against India?

And that is stumps on day 2.

England 259 - 2.

Just 111 runs behind with those 8 wickets in hand.

Man of the day - Tim Bresnan, and you can stick Finn up your ars'e Bressie
