Here I am, up at the crack of dawn for a day trip to the Home of Cricket. The plan is to see the Third Day of the 1st Test between England and India at Lord’s, which just happens to be the 2000th Test Match and the 100th between these two countries. England seem to have the upper hand after Day 2, in which Kevin Pietersen scored a double century and England declared on 474 for 8. India survived without losing a wicket to end on 17-0 at stumps. With some time lost to rain, and India a very strong batting side, it looks like a draw is the most likely outcome but I’m really looking forward to Day 3, during which I hope to have the privilege of seeing the great Sachin Tendulkar bat. This is the 100th Test Match between England and India, and Tendulkar might score his 100th Test International century in it. If he does I will be the first to congratulate him, but I won’t mind if he’s out for a duck either! Anyway, the weather forecast is pretty good and however the match goes I’m looking forward to my day out. Not sure it will be the best I’ve ever had, but then..
