An early wicket was the only blemish on a session otherwise dominated by England. Cook hit an attacking century (17 4's) while Collingwood provided occasional support.
Both spinners were taken to the cleaners on a pitch that has been spinning since Day 1! Hedger's desperation even led to Goodwin getting a bowl, all to no avail.
The current partnership is 168, England need another 248 to pull off a miraculous win.
Whooot! I got Pietersen! It is going to be tough for us! Would be demoralizing to lose it from here...but then again we are not Pakistan!
In my match against the Aussies I was really struggling with spin..so after North and Haddin had had a go Katich and Clarke were put in to give me some more as well! Aussies used 8 bowlers in that innings!:laugh
If I were the captain I'd be getting some medium pacers on as a change of pace...AI tends to drop back a bit then!
Come on guys, we need a few more wickets, especially Cook.
There's scoring at a very fast rate, so maybe try to build some pressure up, and the wickets might tumble.
The Collingwood-Cook partnership was finally broken by Aditya, who coupled with Hedger polished off the remaining English wickets in the final session on Day 3.
Planet Cricket take a 1-0 lead in the 3 match series!
Hedger please announce the team for the 2nd match.
