Second test - day two

Shortest test series ever? It might be for Michael Papps. 86 in five hours and then a broken finger and (probably) a flight home.

Angus Fraser in the Independent is covinced that England have lost this game already. The wicket is green, the air is moist, the clouds are staying. And we have 350 on the board. As I wrote this, Cairns managed to lob an easy catch to gully, but I will still be disappointed if we fail to reach 400. And if we do, then Gloomy 'Gus might be right.

On the other hand Gloomy Mike has a funny feeling that new Dad Michael Vaughan might want to leave something for baby Tallulah to remember. I'm picking a big score from my namesake.

And Tallulah? Michael, what were you thinking?

But instead of Greatbatch, we have Scotty Styris batting for our survival.
