Good to see the six wickets haul from Broad in the first innings too. He's taken eight in his last two innings with half centuries in both tests. Could be turning into a proper Test all-rounder.
Cook, Bopara and Collingwood need a good talking to. NWG hopes they will be off playing for their counties before the Oval and see if they can remember how to bat. Bopara, NWG believes, should be dropped for Trott. The Oval demands millions of runs, and England just cannot have another batting performance like this again. It's getting serious.
NWG already has that nervous anxiety feeling you get before a parachute jump or similar.
Nightwatchgirl's Pick of the Cricket News this week
Farewell Ricky Ponting and Michael Hussey. NWG always enjoys it when useful Australian batsmen retire, even if one of them is moody and small.
Stuart Broad is on NWG's naughty list. If she ever meets him she would like to educate him in how to be a polite human being instead of being mean to Sir Ian Botham. It's not on Stuart. And that's probably why your heel hurts. Just saying.
Of all the things to invent in the world of cricket, did we really need wickets that light up when they get hit? NWG is doubtful. The Big Bash therefore falls short in terms of innovation. She would have preferred one fielder to have springs in their shoes so they could jump really high or something equally as funny/ridiculous/dangerous.
NWG would like to advertise herself. For once. She advises you all to listen to this podcast and note all the kind things they say about NWG...
NWG would like to thank Patrick Kidd at The Times for putting NWG in the top 50 cricket blogs in the world. She is overwhelmed.
Andrew Symonds makes bold statement: "I'm in a position of responsibility and I can't live irresponsibly. I've realised that." Groundbreaking. (NWG can't bear to take this down)
Ashes Forum
Come and check out the new Ashes Forum on Silly Point with Nightwatchgirl. Don't be shy...
It is my mission to make cricket understandable to all. So along with cricket news, there will also be explanations of particular rules and any other weird business that happens on or off a cricket field.

Now about that three batsman ...

Because as we know, Bell played a blinder...
NWG forgot about Bell. Yeah, add him to the list too,
All rounder? I don't think so.
