Now it looks like, unless England self-destruct in the last session, they will have the good weather to help them build a total.
KISS OF DEATH.
Has been amusing to follow the cricket on the aussie bike forum though.
You were saying.....?
Nooo...I mentioned the self-destruct potential. True kiss of death would be to just predict the massive total...
I'm just not taking responsibility for any collapse. 🙂
Crowd in full song, ball flying to the rope time after time.
Is it too soon for a beer?
WTF
WICKET
Cook c Voges b Lyon 34 (Eng 76-2)
Posted at 17:35
Extraordinary. You will never, ever see a wicket quite like this. Adam Voges has somehow caught Alastair Cook without knowing where the ball is. The off-spin of Nathan Lyon for the first time, short, Cook hammering a full-bloodied pull shot. Voges ducks, but the ball goes straight at him, basically lodging in his belly. That's a one in a million type of dismissal.
100 up
Are we back
over the top of off stump !
living a charmed life over the top of off stump again
50 for Bell, he's really enjoying mitchell starc !
beyond reason 😯
Shame for Bell - he'll need to score in the second innings too.
Just landed in Japan - Aus were 2 down when I left and I was fearful of a full blooded Aussie fightback. Not today
Landed back in Oz, the highlights on the news were good viewing for 1% of us at the airport
Was in the pub in Oz last night. Everyone was strangely quiet.
Why won't Johnson do the decent thing and tread on a ball 😈
Normal service is resumed.
bloody 'ell the one guy you wanted to hang around 🙄
well my forecast down the pub after a lot of jokes is/was
England for under 200?
It becomes an ODI
England 250 and above in control
3 wickets in 3 overs to Lyon is just abysmal batting from england
Need a good knock from Ali and Broad. Boycott's advice is golden in these situations. Protect your wicket!
50 partnership 😯 ball must be getting old and soft
lovely stuff from Moeen flicked on drive off Johnson
I think Ali could be the man of the series if this carries on.
flaying Johnson to all parts of the ground now, wonderful stuff
Shhhhhh
Cook looks happy enough 😉
whacked him out of the attack
"This is England's highest eighth-wicket partnership in a Test match at Edgbaston, beating the 70 between Andy Caddick and Alex Tudor against New Zealand in 1999."
Eng 271-7 (lead by 135)
think captain told moeen "swing at everything" ! 😯
booooo
Even though Broad has just gone, Australia now need more than they scored at the first attempt just to make us bat again 😆
is that the fat lady i can see ? birthday 50 from Jimmy ?
No it's Dave Warner
😆
perhaps not 🙂
All out 145 lead, can they make it?
This is going to be very interesting - an early wicket or two and it's all over, if they get in and stay in and frustrate us then anything could happen.
Ball still swinging? Could be a feisty hour until tea!
All out 145 lead, can they make it?
Make us bat again? Probably.
Win? Depends on which England team come out for the second innings
for 1?
Hmmm. Warner is scoring quickly though. If he does that for an hour there won't be much of a lead.
Hmmmm indeed.
