Absolutely loving this, how test cricket should be played. Action packed.

Absolutely. A massive step up in standard of what we saw in the WTC Final.

We are certainly targeting Boland. Root taking the piss with the reverse scoop

[DOC]

Yes it is Roz.

Who is the other gent?

I think it's Callum Fergusson

[batmanbegins]

Great to have Jonny back, he really is an elite batter these days. Pretty quick between the wickets for a chubby lad.

[DOC]

Bairstow out stumped off Lyon. 6/297.

[Jim05]

Yes it is Roz.

Who is the other gent?

SOK was with him earlier

[DOC]

Yes it is Roz.

Who is the other gent?

SOK was with him earlier

Thanks Jim. Yes it's him.

Some idiot said it was Callum Ferguson.

[DOC]

Ali stumped. Lyon now has 4.

That is the tenth time the Goat has butchered ALI.

Root taking the piss with the reverse scoop

with all these reverse sweeps hitting the middle of the back you can guarantee Carey will bring it out when he bats

[DOC]

Steve Smith pushes for a review but Cummins points out that bat before wicket is not a method of dismissal.

[DOC]

Green gets his first wicket,

Broad goes for 16 with Root closing in on a well deserved ton.

8/350

[DOC]

I wonder who was the last off spinner to get a 4/fa on day one of an Ashes Test?

[DOC]

Root gets a well deserved ton. Batted very well.

8/368

[DOC]

England declare 8/393

Root 118*
Robinson 17*


Broad to Warner around the wicket coming up.
