			Wrong, it's nine.   
Ten, that last wicket summed up a dreadful performance from the Kiwis, excellent bowling all the same.

It was great, I love going to Lords, such a great place to watch cricket especially proper test cricket. I tried to get tickets for the ashes at Lords but was unsuccessful in the ballot, so was offered half price tickets for the NZ test, which is a great thing to do by the MCC or whoever organises it.

			Excellent news - I was at Headingley all day yesterday, and the weather and cricket were both excellent, with the West Stand crowd being very entertaining as usual.
