Straight in to this one chaps, no need for the usual pleasantries....
1st over in to the afternoon session and MIH is giggling inanely to himself, perhaps he's just seen his hair in the mirror?
MOD goes back to bigging himself up..... "I once spent 108 overs in the field" REA asks if he was working as a scarecrow at the time! MIH chips in with 'I stayed a whole weekend once.....' He doesnt disappoint does he!
For what seems to be the 1000th time in the last four days, Ellie Gouldings version of Your Song comes on, If you havent heard it check it out, its refreshing and uplifting
It's 3am and the red wine is being cracked open, despite the best advice from BBC Sport we're going to drink. Score check at this pivitol Strauss 96* and Cook 55*. A very courteous Michaelk Holding confirms the time for us
The late hour must be getting to MOD as he believes the first day of the test was Monday
3.08am and Strauss cuts for 4 to bring up his ton. Sporadic applause in the lounge of 76, MOD is heard to remark 'What a guy!' MIH applauds but does he know whats happened?!
The Chef takes this opportunity to remind himself to watch the ball, this is happening as England move to within 50 of the Aussie first innings total.
For those of you who missed it live; whilst handing over to Nasser Hussain, David Gower had a chair dropped on his foot. What followed next can only be described as pure comedy, take a look, if you dont laugh you have no soul! (and I'm not talking Aretha Franklin or Marvin Gaye)
3.47 After a 20 minute interlude I return with an hour to go before tea to find MOD retiring to his room to take a call from his gf. How the tables have turned!
3.54 Gone! Andrew Strauss, the Captain, the Hunk! Dragged down the track by a wiley piece of bowling from Marcus North, Brad Haddin took care of the rest. A J Strauss st Haddin b North 110
That'll do for now, see you all in an hour or maybe in the late morning
REA
