Another chance for a hat-trick....
Anderson to Johnson, OUT, oh he's gone too! Swings back in to Johnson, who is in two minds whether to leave it - he does leave it - and it hits him above the knee-roll
MG Johnson lbw b Anderson 0 (1b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
Anderson to North, OUT, wonderful catch! Prior makes a super take diving to his left across first slip. Fullish ball swinging away from North, who got a thick edge to one that he might have left alone
MJ North c †Prior b Anderson 12 (49b 1x4 0x6) SR: 24.48

And that'll be lunch. Phew. What a session for England, they picked up 7 for 77, with Onions picking up three and Anderson four. Remember to trot across to the lunchtime chat.
Anderson to Manou, OUT, wow! What a delivery! Anderson comes a touch wider and gets the ball to straighten and it comprehensively smashes Manou's off stump, that is almost the perfect ball.
GA Manou b Anderson 8 (11b 2x4 0x6) SR: 72.72

The Ashes battle is hotting up on the airwaves as well as the pitch after a falling out between Matthew Hayden and Geoff Boycott on the opening day at Edgbaston while working for Test Match Special. Hayden, who has joined for the rest of the summer, said Boycott's batting style "emptied cricket grounds" and Boycott promptly stormed out of the commentary box saying "don't need comments like that at my stage." They shook hands later, but the atmosphere is likely to be deliciously frosty
Going on Geoff!!!

So close to the end of the innings......
Onions to Hilfenhaus, 1 run, short of a length, he mis-hooks it out to extra cover and Bopara's giving chase and ought to take it comfortably. But drops it! What a clanger. Bopara's having a rubbish series, to be honest; he looks a distracted figure in the field and his fielding hasn't been blemish-free all series

Ha ha, forgot all about that challenge. Don't think I will make it before I'm off for three weeks. Hopefully more action in the cricket this afternoon will help though. But I do not want to be reporting on England wickets falling like the Aussie one's!!!
