Another half century last wicket partnership against England!

I do kenny but not today.

Anderson to Mohammed Shami, 1 run, oh that was close to the point fielder! Shami is walking into his shots, pushes this in the air, it is agonisingly close to the fielder

Both batsman reach 50

Anderson to Mohammed Shami, SIX

partnership 102, 5 needed

They're not mentioning the record. I wonder if I've got it wrong.

didnt the aussies put on 160 odd for the last wicket v england in the ashes last summer??? agar someone got 90 odd i think??

lol, probably, can't remember. I was going by this site.

Willey*

Willey*

8 on that list were against england

yes, in last 18 months, 4 now.

Cap'n Cook won't see out the series..

England last pair have put on 60 so far.

That's 170 runs for last wicket pair in first innings for on dismissal.

one*

Anderson playing like Sir Geoffrey.

Unfortunately the Cap'n can't..

aye.

stand now 89, that's 200 for last wicket.

Root reaches 100

Good knock from the young man.

Two century partnerships for the 10th wicket in one match.

Yes, well done the Yorkie.

100 stand

Indeed Sultan.

Total last wicket runs for one dismissal.   217

partnership matches India   111

Anderson's first half century

well done Jimmy

Stand 131

Record last wicket partnership for England in all tets

tests obviously

only 17 off world record

once Jimmy gets his century they should declare imo

someone on Cricinfo just said "Who said this pitch was no good for bowlers ? It seems to suit their batting just fine !"

I make it 4 off the world record (163) but they've not mentioned it on Sky. I must have got it wrong again. lol

England take the lead!!!

ha ha, Lloyd and Hussain don;t know there's a record coming up. The statistician knows but hasn't told them yet

Another record gone.

Longest innings by a number 11 in tests

184 mins

Well done lads!

Done

Aggers "They know they've done something but not what they've done yet"!

lol


NEW WORLD RECORD

Congratulations

Jimmy can't make a ton, can he?

Binny to Anderson, FOUR, he hits it in the air, but in the gap as well. Well-timed too as he comes forward and pushes it through midwicket beautifully

Binny to Root, FOUR, He leans into it and finds the gap at extra cover with a beautiful drive

The corn biryani will be getting warm..

Stand 182, 19 more than previous record

Root 143

Anderson 77

ha ha guinness, I love that dish.

Indeedy..

I wonder if the Yorkie pup can keep the red rose messiah company till he gets his ton..

Great stuff from the crowd!

Damn! Wanted them to stay out there, you just know this will end soon after lunch now..

19 runs from a record that may never be matched again in our lifetimes.

Well done boys, well done.  Tino best got to 95 in england in 2012, agar got to 98 last year, seems that hundred mark is very difficult to pass, lets hope jimmy does it today.

yes was thinking about Shane Warne and his 99 just now.

Not forgetting that other player at number 11 whose name escapes me for the moment. English bowler, black. I thought he was brilliant but got dropped the next year (I think) and was never seen again - which was always a mystery to me.

Not Chris Lewis by the way.

Just can't think of his name.

Google comes to assistance!

Alex Tudor.

yes I remember Tudor well. He was very handy with a bat

Aye Thorpey let him down

Just read up about him, Sultan. Apparently he was plagued by injuries ever after.
Shame.

"His further contributions with the bat were the subject of much attention as he batted against New Zealand and hit 99 not out, the highest-ever score by an English nightwatchman, which led him towards a Cricket Writers' Club Young Cricketer of the Year award;[1] batting partner Graham Thorpe received much ribbing from their Surrey team mates for not letting him reach a century.[2]"

I used to like John Tudor the footballer too

Indeed, Guinness.

Henry was a fave of mine (for obvious reasons)

Alex Tudor played for a club in the Surrey league, Spencer CC, where he started out just down the road from me last year. Was also the coach Not sure about 2014..

Currant Bun, according to Wiki:
"Alex continued to play for Nottinghams West Indian Cavaliers CC until 2012 but has rejoined his boyhood side of Spencer CC back in London. Along with playing PCA (of which he is an ambassador) and charity games Alex runs his own successful company Alex Tudor Coaching."

He could take Cap'n Cook under his wing then..

haha! Yes!

Yeah, thorpey did tudor up like a kipper.

thank you Tommy Toes

Cmon Jimmy Anderson.

You're welcome Currant Bun.

I really liked him as a cricketer. Thought he had a great attitude and always seemed to have a smile on his face.
Such a shame that he was injury-plagued after such a promising start to his Test career.

Simon Jones was the same, Tommy. Injury curtailed a fine a career..

Aye, Guinness.

Last wicket is now 309-1 in this match. Amazing.

I remember getting his name wrong once in the pub!

I think it was with someone from The Clash!

spoke too soon

Well done Root and Anderson.

Excellent performances.

Ahh shame, he was stuck on that score for too long i'm afraid..

Poor shot by Anderson to get out.

Steve Jones form the Pistols, Tommy? Or Mick Jones The Clash?

Shame but a cracking innings.

Anderson undone by lunch sadly

Mick Jones, Guinness - you've prompted my memory!

Yes, Pumpy, twas on the cards..

I lurved Mick Jones in BAD, Tommy..

Have a bop to thissun Tommy..

Haha!

That reminds me of one of the questions in last night's quiz where the Q was 'What did Einstein say was the Fourth Dimension?"

TGM answered "Tommy's head"

Haha.

Stoopid lappy.. That was supposed to say.....


Haha - timeless

Very good!

Ello ello ello!

Game on!

what a ball!

Simon Mann has just read an email out from someone who's at Lego Land today.
Tuffers said "I've been there. Liked it. Although some people say Lego Land's gone to pieces"

Cook takes his 1st Test wicket.

Make him the 5th bowler, he might keep his place then..

It was very funny listening to his over as described by Aggers on TMS - and his interview with Cook after the match.
At least the bloke's got a sense of humour despite all his current 'issues'.
