Atkinson moving, looking for his fifer. Bowls him. Middle stump is out of the ground. Atkinson on the honors board again at Lords. Five for 30. England win the test match. They go one-nil up here at Lords. New Zealand all out for 138.

Michael Vaughan's alongside me and, and Phil Tuffnell. It's always nice to be down. Actually, it's always rather nice on a, on a Sunday or it's a fourth day to be down.
