    16.6 but Harmison has got his hat on, as Morton drives this meekly to Sidebottom at mid-off. A very tame dismissal indeed, and Morton glares warily at the pitch as though "stopped" on him. But he only has himself to blame 55/4

    69.4 what a fine piece of bowling that is and a superb catch from Collingwood at second slip. Angled across him, the ball then cut back a touch to Ramdin who tried to punch it off the back foot but could only edge it to Collingwood who took it in front of his face 219/7

    37.1 there's the line and there's the edge! Strauss was uncertain in Edwards' last over, and he hadn't settled this time around either. The perfect line and high-kicking length to the left-hander, a thin graze through to Ramdin, and Edwards is off on his windscreen-wiper celebration. A big breaklthrough! 133/5

    54.2 now, that is just brainless batting. A repeat performance of his first-innings dismissal, Powell has a loose uppish waft outside off stump, gets right underneath the shot, and dollies the simplest chance to Vaughan walking in from short mid-off. Another one bites the dust, and England scent a 3-0 rout 188/8
