Watching the highlights Smith and Head (partnership of 117) played some brilliant shots.
83 overs bowled in the day, how much extra time did they play on top of the extra half an hour? Cricinfo commentary has stumps at 6.50pm so I'm guessing 20 mins?
5/339 at stumps, not a bad toss to lose.
Smith has reached 9000 test runs in this innings, he's the second fastest too 9000 in innings played (174).

Hahaha. English eyesight must have been pretty ordinary back then.
I've no idea why it's such a big slope .....run off maybe? Collect the water in one spot?

Suspect it was constructed in haste as this site was the third one 4 years.
First one was abandoned due to a rent dispute in 1810 and is now known as Dorset Square, 2nd one was compulsory acquired to construct Regent's Canal in 1813
