Here we go again folks,england won the toss and chose to bat, currently 19 for 0,hope we bat a bit more sensibly this time,lucky not to be 1-0 down in the series after the draw at Cardiff.

england 425 all out, 1st innings,good effort,last stand of over 40 runs by onions and anderson made a difference. Just hope we can get a couple of early wickets to put some pressure on them.

I've managed to get BBC LW Radio 4 but still can't work out Justin TV. I do not wish to subscribe to Sky, any ideas?

I can only assume that Flintoff is injured, and needs some rest

Brinsley I had the same problem and all I did was clear my internet history, shut down the computer and logged back in and it seemed to work again. Could have been luck but worth a go!!
