England are 230-4
Pietersen 96*
Collingqood 15*

I'm loving the BBC live text:

1426: We had some hockey-style shots from Pietersen at Lord's, and now it's time for tennis as he plays a top-spin forehand off Maharoof to crash the ball from outside off-stump down to the long-on boundary. The last ball of the over flies off the edge over the slips for another four to agitate the tourists futher.

1432: Are we at Wimbledon already? Pietersen produces a repeat of the previous Maharoof over, pirouetting to flip the ball down to the long-on fence. He then plays a quite exquisite cover drive straight out of the text book to bring up the fifty partnership. In this mood he is almost unstoppable.

for Pietersen

but collingwood is gone 238-5

pietersen and flintoff in the middle though!

They need to keep their eye on the weather but it all depends on how these two score. if they are blisteringly quick then possibly declare half an hr before the close to possibly make an early breakthrough (or 3 if plunketts involved :D). But i think what is more important is a substantial lead of probably 250-350 which will most likely mean a declaration before lunch tomorrow... england are notoriously good at collapsing though....

England 290/6

Muralitharan takes the wicket of KP after he'd scored a magnificent 142!!!

The day eventually ended with Sri Lanka at 86-4, two wickets each for Panesar and Hoggard and the Sri Lankans are still 68 behind England
