Wot no cricket thread?

An early start to Boxing Day for me, a day I always prefer to to Christmas Day given that it simply involves eating while watching sport. Great start by Anderson strangling Elgar with a loosener (not sure Elgar's thick application of sun block was needed :lolol: ) but this will be an interesting test between a team struggling with form and another struggling with recent form and illness. Not sure I'd want to bat fourth on this pitch either.

Broad and Archer recovering from lurgy, 35 degrees forecast today and batting last looks dodgy. Did Root really win the toss?

Edit: I claim Curran's first wicket!

Good start, let's not allow them off the hook. I forgot, no TMS just crappy Cricket Social to listen to, doh!

79-3 at lunch. Would have taken that at the start.
I'd take that too, that 3 rd wicket just tipped the match our way, morning session to England!

A bit concerned about our future pace spearhead...0-37 off 7 has he been unlucky or rumbled?
