Extra 30 minutes played and still 5 overs short.

3/327

Smith 95*
Head 146*

India won the toss and sent us in. Thanks.

India did not select their best bowler Ashwin. Thanks

Twitter already blowing up about this decision and how they can get Ashwin into the game as a concussion sub.

Good toss to lose.

Travball!

Really surprised they didn't pick Ashwin. Surely they didn't misread the pitch thst much?

Typical Indian cowardice. Saw the colour of the pitch and shit their pants.
The old English saying of “Look up, not down” is one that should always be heeded in England.
I would have been filthy if Pat had won the toss and bowled

toddled off to bed at 3/76, nek minute 3/327!

trav and smudge you ******* beauty!!!

Well batted Australia. That was a tough pitch to start on but get in and it's happy days.
They should know colour doesn't matter so why they left Ashwin out is nuts.
Travis batted brilliantly and Smith doesn't look like getting out.
Bat the cheats out of the game, then attack with the ball.

Bowling them out twice is going to be difficult.
Going to need plenty of time for that

Went to bed at 3/90...hoping we might get a 250+

Wowsers looking forward to watching the highlights.

Bazball vs Trav is going to be a great watch over the next couple of months.

Think he means pitch doctorors....

Only one draw in the last 15 years at The Oval (2013 Ashes and there was going to be a result but bad light intervened), that being said weather on Day 4 & 5 is not great and reserve day can only be used to catch up on overs lost - they cant use the day to play until there is a result. Reserve day weather looks worse than Day 4 & 5.

Can see us getting aggressive tonight and having a good 45 odd overs at them on Day 2.

Cause we don't set our pitches to our strengths

Looks more like a pitch from NZ

If rolling out a pitch to suit the home nation is cheating then we are all guilty
We are as bad as anyone.
