30.3 Panesar to McCullum, OUT, another one falls! Tossed up by Panesar, McCullum goes for a huge slog-sweep but top-edges it to deep midwicket. Strauss runs around and circles beneath it, clinging onto an excellent catch on the run•Getty Images

0.3 Sidebottom to Bell, OUT, gone! After two leg-side deliveries Sidebottom finds the spot on off stump, angling across the right hander who prods forward without great conviction. A touch of extra bounce, the ball clips the outside edge and loops through to Ambrose who takes it low•Getty Images

44.3 Panesar to Mills, OUT, that's dead! Awful shot from Mills, falling victim to over confidence and trying to sweep this well-flighted ball on middle stump•Getty Images

Just as happened yesterday, a wicket with the third ball after lunch ... Jeetan Patel angles one from round the wicket across Tim Ambrose who pushes forward, gets the edge, and finally one carries to Fleming at slip, albeit low down•Getty Images

27.3 Sidebottom to How, OUT, got him! What a catch from Hoggard at deep midwicket. It was on his toes and How clipped it with great timing and it appeared to be sailing for six until Hoggard, running to his left on the boundary, leapt up high and took it with both hands, almost behind him. A wonderful catch•Getty Images
