Cloudy weather, a half decent start and ... Bradford

Apologies for my absence, I've been in Bradford for a couple of days for a film festival and it seems that Sky are not showing this second test. I can't find any highlights or evidence that it has even been noticed. This would never happen with the BBC - they would kill to show a series that has Australia on the back foot.

So, I haven't seen any of it. I've only read it about it.

It looks as though the weather was a bit cloudy; the Aussie batsman started well but none of them could hit three figures; Ponting seems to have dominated again but went for 77.

Feel free, anyone, to correct me ...

Marcus North made it to 43 and is still not out. I will pray tonight that he can make it to 100. That should sort out two problems in one: an average 1st innings haul and North's contentious place in the side.

Bad light stopped play for the day, with Australia on 285-5.

Did I miss anything worth mentioning?

I know, the sun disappeared just as we entered Yorkshire and we didn't see it again until we got home. My boy is the star, by the way, he made a film that was shown in the festival.
