Cricket…er…

Engalnd are not doing too well against Pakistan on the 5th day of the 2nd Test. Their top four went for 20 this morning. But I think only Bell got himself out. The rest were undone by the new ball swinging.

So our hopes are with KP and Flintoff – not two men you’d expect to block. I just wish BBC Radio 4 LW didn’t go across to “Today in Parliament” every morning at 8.30am. There’s a time and a place…..

Or perhaps I just need a DAB radio. I’d listen to it on my PC but the BBC aren’t broadcasting this Test on the internet.

This series has put into perspective England’s achievement under Nasser Hussain in 2000 to win a series in Pakistan.

Oh dear Pietersen has just been undone by a slower ball for 42. Now it’s up to Geraint Jones & Flintoff.
