Man, it sucks that I can't watch any of this action.

How did McGrath look? Looks like he and Lee may have got tonked in the first hour or so as England racked up 85 or so runs in the first hour or so. Anyway, it's an indication that the poms were not simply playing for a draw and were looking to be aggressive from the get-go. Flintoff appears to have been of that mindset too.

BTW, what's the weather forecast for the next 4 days? It would be a pity to have a weather-dictated draw.

McGrath bowled ok but not his best - lacking in the usual accuracy. The pitch is a belter, very hard for seamers to do much which is why England are in a spot of bother.

Met forecast just has light rain on Sat and Sun, so looks okay.
