Before we get started, I'd like all three of you to visit my new website; http://www.casinoedge.com/ immediately after enjoying some lyrical musings from the best cricket commentary in Hatfield.
On to matters of a cricketing nature, Strauss brings up his 50 with a tickle of his legs and REA only just manages to contain his excitement.
As you may well have gathered, MIH has returned this evening to amuse us all for one more night. The main reason for his visit? Because he took our door key with him when he was last here.
In more generic news, a Dominos pizza coupon booklet has arrived which has caused residents of 76 High Dells to work themselves up in to what could only be described as a frenzy of excitement.
Five minutes later during a lull in play, MIH pipes up with: "Strauss has got 50!" Honestly, even Shakespeare couldn't create characters with such an entertainment value.
REA has chosen to take a break from avidly watching cricket to read Grazia as Strauss plays a fine shot which finds its way past his stumps down to fine leg for four runs.
After briefly putting down Grazia, REA comments: "Andrew Strauss is such a hunk!" I'll leave you to draw your own conclusions from that sentance.
However, in between being bothered by short balls Strauss is managing to play some expansive drives and REA's admiriation has now reached a similar level to that of Mark Chapman's toward John Lennon.
If you're wondering why there has not been any mention of Strauss' batting partner Alistair Cook, it's because his batting so far today has been almost as boring as his personality. None the less he's doing a sterling job (and we're sure he's a nice chap as well, the sort of bloke you'd want in your pub quiz team).
Next up comes the best moment of cricketing commentary since one unfortunate chap remarked: "The bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willie." I am, of course referring to David Gower's scream of anguish while being mid-sentance. We immediately feared the worst for the poor chap; a heart attack? a sniper? No, someone put a chair on his foot.
Mitchell Johnson manages to drop a goober as Strauss looked to hit over the top. 30 seconds later MIH realised what had occured and shouted: "YES." Words fail me...
I have just been reliably informed that we have managed 500 page views. It is widely expected that 498 of these have come from a Mr L.B Pentagon of Bournemouth. However to the few others that have taken the time out to view this blog; what are you doing? Blokes at the BBC get paid to do this.
After being stuck on 49 for 12 balls, Cook manages to make his second 50 of the match. We are all delighted for the little scamp, maybe he'll celebrate by having a few Samuel Buca's tonight (on the other hand, he probably won't).
Just as I was about to sign off for this post, TL informs MIH that the Facebook message he is composing to one of his many chums is actually being posted on his own wall.
Also, REA has asked me to remind you all about the polls that can be seen on the right hand side of your screen so there they are.
As MIH starts to show a very uninterested TL his house on Google Streetview the players trudge off for lunch.
