285 all out! A fivefor for Swann.

England decide to bat again, I would imagine until lunch time tomorrow and get a quick 100+ and give the bowlers a little rest.

Day 3 close - England 31 for 1, 312 ahead.

Allen Stanford out for a duck, clean bowled by the SEC.

It is the 2nd innings remember. The bowlers will be batting before lunch

Always thought there was something dodgy about him.

Selecting Swann has payed off with 5 wickets. IMO they should have enforced the follow on because if England bowl like they do again they'd have it won by the end of the 4th day.

What an awful shot from Sarwan. He'd played so well and he threw it all away.

Oh and as for Stanford:




shame. No really.

F*ck off and don't ever come back you stupid Texan phillistine.

The bowlers were knackered. They need a couple of sessions rest then they'll be refreshed, sending them straight back into the field in those temperatures would have been a foolish move.

Flintoff was struggling with injury, Harmison with "illness" - although why a player who was supposedly suffering from heatstroke spent so much of the day in the field if he wasn't fit to bowl I don't know.

The counter argument to that is there were only 11 overs to bowl after the break between innings. Broad, Anderson and Swann could have covered those between them leaving the other two to get a nights rest and come back fresh in the morning.
