Nothing of particular relevance to Day 4, but this morning I managed to relocate a gem from the brilliant Ben Dirs on the BBC's Test Match Special on-line coverage. Back on Day 1, he had been increasingly comparing the tense opening exchanges to a game of chess, with each side waiting patiently for a chance to out-manoeuvre the other.
Then, out of the blue, came Peter Siddle's fantastic hat-trick (note for Stefan: 3 wickets in 3 consecutive balls - a very unusual feat). This inspired the following commentary from Ben: If this match was a game of chess, Siddle has just done the equivalent of flip the board over, sweep aside the pieces and nut England in the face. Genius.
