[Cricket] First Ashes Test - England v Australia - Cardiff

[The Wizard]

England need to be careful here... They are now getting their eye in on Ali, not sure why Cook switched from the pace bowlers anyway who were making life very difficult.

Warner worries me if he gets in he can get big scores very quickly.

Indeed. The first session is crucial. It is not impossible for the Aussies to be 100-0 or 1 at lunch, with Warner heading towards a big hundred...

A wicket or two now would be nice!

Anyone else starting to get the first nervy twitches? I am.

I had those even before play. The Aussies are more than capable of chasing these down.

Ali is just not a test class spinner. His shit bowling has given Aussies a life line.

Need a few wickets or else this is going to go there way. There is enough in the pitch, but we need some good spin bowling and wickets fro Ali

Root having a bowl now

Aussies edging into favourites territory now with the bookies with Smith & Warner in at 90-1 that's fairly reasonable.

I think that once one goes there may well be a few. Remember in the first innings the Aussies were looking comfortable at 128-1 ?

Anyone with any spare wedge should back England now

Edited for no other reason than I was right

Get in rhere!!! Ali

 

[Pavilionaire]

Stay calm, it's in the bag.

Wow... Moeen Ali traps Warner in front in the last over before lunch.

97-2 at lunch.

Huge boost for England after toiling all morning with only one wicket and no luck.

[pasty]

Yes, get in. Big wicket with perfect timing.
