Did you hear about the South African who scored centuries against South Africa before he was dismissed for the first time by them in both ODIs and Tests? And did you hear they were 3-and-a-half years apart?

Always thought it was high myself TBH. You'd be pretty sore if you got given out for that. Especially given the Strauss wicket.

Pietersen's a tall bloke. If it hits him above the knee roll it's going to be given not out, but it were pretty close.

Yeah good decision. In real time it looked closer than on replay where you could see it was going over.

Yep, third time it's happened in 10 years.

Guess I was wishful-thinking when, earlier in the day, I wondered whether he'd go better at the third attempt than either of the previous.

Hope these two can make the double-century partnership. But obviously they won't be doing it this evening.

309 for 3 off 90.

Think most people would take that after losing the toss this morn.

Really hope Bell can score a century tomorrow - to whatever extent the weather allows.

Good day for England obviously, but they have to be careful about not falling in a heap tomorrow. Should play tentatively for the morning session, and then accelerate from there.
