Bowling second and forth should benefit Ali, Starc really digs the pitch up with his follow through and it spins here. Shame we didn't play both spinners.

Lyon on early... no turn... Cook plays out a maiden...

Could be a low scoring game with the variable bounce.
I can't understand why everyone wants to bowl just because it's cloudy. They haven't looked threatening at all so far. I also wouldn't fancy batting 4th on this, the ball is dying already, lbw is in play and we'll be Moore so in the 2nd innings

I just feel these conditions would have suited our seamers. The Aussie quicks just dont have the control to be making the most of it.

Anderson would have enjoyed the overhead conditions, but other than that it's pretty cold and a slow pitch. The fact Lyon is already bowling tells a story.

strong and stable with me, or...
Just needed to leave and use a straight bat until lunch. We've lost two wickets, first to an attempted clip to the leg side off a ball that was straight, second attempting to cut a ball straight after a break. Seriously, lets not make this easy for them.

Bell OUT
No review... looked plumb... full and straight from Starc, with a hint of late swing.
