    From Alison Bell, TMS inbox: "If I was a West Indian bowler bowling to Vaughan, I wouldn't even bother trying to get him out. I'd just send wide balls down that he has to stretch for and wait for his arms to snap off."
    .
    Suppose you have a physicist and a sociologist standing at the side of a field, observing a set of events unfolding on the field. The physicist does [describes] it using the terminology of mass and velocity and frequency of radiation and the rest. And the sociologist does it by describing it as a rugby match.



    May the Lord bless this post.

        England: 91-2

          1413 BST - Eng 128-2:Hearts in mouths at Headingley as Vaughan goes to 49 with another four custard-creamed through midwicket. KP then calls him through for a sharp single, which has Ramdin flinging the ball at the stumps and striking Vaughan a glancing blow on the leg. There's a gasp of horror from around the ground - but no SNAP is audible, and we breathe again.

            1428 BST - Eng 135-2: The singing reaches new levels as KP smashes Collymore back down the ground for a brutal four, with Batman and Robin Hood now joining Scooby-Doo in an impromptu conga. A man dressed as a yougn Dutch girl watches on admiringly.

              1445 BST - Eng 147-2: There's a deep roar from the clouds - it's the Lancaster! All play is immediately halted as the old warhorse trundles over the ground to a raucous ovation, its progress marked by thousands of fans standing up and wiggling their arms up in wing-like fashion. The plane banks tightly over Elland Road and comes back again to a defeaning chorus of the Dambusters march - although the proximity of the Betfair blimp does cause some anxiety. Scooby-Doo is close to tears.

                F.A.O. Helios_Creed. There are some great celebrity stories on the TMS thread.

                  1602 BST - Eng 230-2: Not sure what Jerome Taylor had for tea, but it's unsettled him badly - he serves up a half-volley for Vaughan to drive for three, and then goes wider to allow KP to hammer a thumper through cover for four. Biscuit-Boy moves to 95 not out - no sig of him crumbling yet.

                            England doing great too.

                            Bowling them out in 39 overs. It's like Brian Lara 2007 .

                              Haha that's exactly what I thought. A mammoth total followed by a skittling in under 40 overs and then reducing them to 22-2 in the follow-on

                                India beat Bangladesh by an innings and 241 runs

                                Also the first team to have their top 4 players all get 100 in the same innings
