Well done England. Thoroughly deserved.

Hope not, several commentators might explode🤣

But sadly, not Ashes defining.

5 wickets for 29, proper collapse now.

Well, well Often happens with teams chasing a total. As soon as it starts to look possible it plays on batters minds, they start making mistakes and the wickets start to fall. Having said that it helps if the bowlers are decent, too!

Or both!

England need to get Marsh out early......

A wicket or two would change everything. Australia are playing some risky shots, one could go anytime. Second new ball coming soonish, too.

Woakes is the key for England, I think. Especially as Smith's not keen on facing him.

I think Australia would continue going for the win unless they lose one, maybe two, wickets quickly.

If they get going again after the early tea it could be a cracking session...... IF.

England need to bring that Lunch guy on, usually good for a couple of wickets after his spell.

'Broad should’ve announced his retirement after the match (an unprofessional distraction).' Have to say I agree with this. Totally unprofessional, unless he discussed it with management/players and they thought it might unsettle Australia? If so, it didn't really work 🙄 If not, it was pretty...

Yeah, rain breaks not a f***ing washout, which doesn't favour anyone. Hopefully there'll be enough play to get a result tomorrow.

Rain breaks generally favour the fielding side as they negatively affect the concentration of the batters. We'll see, hopefully.

It only takes one mistake or a slice of luck and things will look very different. I'd start to get a bit worried if Australia get to 200-0, though.

Good start for Australia but a wicket will completely change the mood.

Too early to be 'lubricated'?

Even Stevens. A great test pitch, wickets falling just when players look set.

Australia in trouble now. Another quick wicket and England could end up with a decent lead.
