Cricket scores around the world

James Anderson on fire 2 quick wickets, England buzzing, 320 for 3.

**Loy Toy** · 10-07-2009, 07:10 PM

Lunch and England have fought back well taking 3 wickets for 99 runs.

Australia 3 for 348 still 87 runs behind with 6 wickets in hand.

I love test cricket and would love even more to be there.

**Loy Toy** · 10-07-2009, 09:36 PM

Australia take a first innings lead with North and Clarke scoring well.

Anderson and Flintoff have bowled extremely well this morning but as I said before the pitch is a batsmen's paradise.

Presently 4/ 453 and I expect that Australia will pick up the scoring until 1hour before stumps and then get the poms back in for a lash at them.
