I've not listened to any of the matches and I don't intend to. Personally, I didn't like the concept of 20:20 when it started and it's now become too commercial for its own good even before this series. I can see it becoming too saturated in two years when there's two domestic competitions......if it's not already.

KP and Freddie in. Hopefully they'll hold firm! Fred looks rather ill...

Can't say I'm particularly a fan of any of the one-day games - for me, test cricket is the only one that really matters. I blame my weakness today on my donating blood earlier - it's made me come over all funny

I can see the reasoning behind it tho, it's easier to get kids into cricket with 20:20 for the quick excitement value over 5 days of test cricket. It's a stepping stone to the real thing i guess

But for me also, Test cricket is the one that is the "true" form and the one that matters.

I've pretty much written off our batting now Think our bowlers will be able to rescue us? What'd be a good target from here, and what're we expecting?

40-4 off 9 overs. I'm thinking 120 would be good from this position, but that's probably not enough to win Wasn't so long ago Aggers and co were saying the Stanford XI's strength was their batting!

I bet Anderson sat making a voodoo doll of Pietersen right now. The unpredictable bounce this pitch is getting!!

There's a slight hope, the West Indies are better at collapsing than England. But then again, Steve Harmison. Big stage. Steve Harmison... ... See what I'm getting at?

Got lucky there; dropped catch. The commentators think this could still be a contest...
