ENGLAND SECOND INNINGS (trail by 75 on first innings)

From Len, TMS inbox: "With early reference to Hill Street Blues, the best cop show ever to grace our screens (before The Wire) - KP to play the part of Captain Furillo?"

1043: As usual, there's plenty for you to read and listen to if you want to catch up with yesterday's action. Our man Ben Dirs has had a chat with Phil Tufnell about how Graeme Swann could be a key man in this winter's Ashes, while you can also listen to yesterday's View from the Boundary with James Caan of Dragon's Den, which is available on the TMS podcast page along with Aggers and Geoff Boycott's regular review of the day. Any of you who followed TMS or our live text yesterday may also remember the invention of the new game "Boycott Bingo", which you can play while listening to the podcast.

From Neil on 606: "The remainder of this game really will tell us how far the England team have come. Pakistan were not at the party in the previous Tests, so with the pressure on will the England team fold like the proverbial pack of cards, or come out fighting and show some character? Character that will surely be put to the test on 25 November in Brisbane."

1030: Morning, everyone. We had a cracking day's cricket yesterday, with a couple of attractive innings by Pakistan's Mohammad Yousuf and Azhar Ali (along with an entertaining knock by nightwatchman Wahab Riaz) - which gave Pakistan a first-innings lead of 75. England then lost skipper Andrew Strauss cheaply - so all eyes have turned to his opening partner Alastair Cook, desperately in need of the sort of big innings I watched Strauss compile against New Zealand in Napier in 2008 - when, with his Test place seriously on the line, he hit 177 and hasn't looked back since. Weather conditions? When my train went past The Oval, it was decidedly overcast. Pakistan's swing bowlers may relish this one. So, as the bloke used to say at the beginning of Hill Street Blues, "Let's be careful out there."
