It would be their first Test win. Wouldn't put money on them doing it but not impossible. Be good to see them do ok, they showed they had some talented players when they were out here.

England untroubled so far. After 11 overs, they are 0/55 as the spinners are about to be introduced.

When you're chasing 163 on a 5th. day wicket, it's good to knock off the first 50 in such confident style.

England have more "pie throwers" than an old Keystone Cops movie.

The part where you get on the big airplane at Heathrow and leave.

Which part of England is that?

Heathrow is the airport. You know, it's where they built you from all the left over pieces that fell off the Jumbo jets.
