England v India (2nd Test, Lords)

[oldcolner]

We were hoping for a heatwave - to do some sightseeing too though.

[Altobelli]

You are correct Colner, the weather is a lot better in London than Southampton on Sunday, enjoy the game though.

England will need to get their heads down this morning and hope for a good start. The Indian bowlers often manage to swing the ball and it will be interesting to see whether the conditions will help them ---it could be very interesting!

Enjoy watching Football when its raining.

I enjoy watching Anderson when the bowling conditions are perfect and he is in the mood!

[Altobelli]

I'd have thought they would have started earlier this morning with all the rain yesterday and the first day completely lost.

[Altobelli]

England 14 for 0, Cook 9, Jennings 5.

[Altobelli]

Jennings gone for 11, he reviewed it but out lbw, Cook 17, England 28 for 1 with Root coming out.

[Altobelli]

Cook edges to keeper for 21, England 32 for 2, debut for The Surrey lad Pope.

[Altobelli]

Pope with his 2nd ball hits a boundary.

[oldcolner]

89-4 at lunch
Root for 19
Pope gets 28
18 needed to go ahead
