Good Positive batting, I thought. Maybe another 30-40 in the innings, then we can see what the bowlers can do!

England are really pushing on this morning - 68/1 off 10 overs so far. Only Hilfenhaus is being economical. Swann attacked the last three balls of Hauritz's first over, and got three boundaries.

EDIT: Now 407/8. Swann and Anderson have made 50 from just 38 balls.

... now 54 from 39. Another boundary from Anderson. :shock:
