Everyone batted well. Thorpe batted like the best batsman in the country that he is. A good day in the end after losing the toss, as we'd have taken 250 for four at the start. Got to make sure we get 400. Saturday Woke up earlier, looking forward to batting.
Wicket looks better today, but the cracks are a bit more prominent.
Need the sun to come out, as tall bowlers like Caddick and Sidebottom could get some uneven bounce. Batted well today, definitely in the zone. Stewart played beautifully although I felt the opposition overdid the short ball a bit. One of those from a fired-up Shoaib Akhtar wasn't as short as some of the others he bowled. I knew the thumb was broken.
