[Cricket] Third Ashes Test - England v Australia - Edgbaston

[Titanic]

...I fancy Stuart Broad to join the party after lunch,

He gets the danger man Rogers LBW for 52

Australia 110-8 (32 overs)

 

[BensGrandad]

We now need our top order to show their metal.

 

[Titanic]

3 of the top 4, and 4 of the top 7 out LBW or BOWLED... nice to see the England attack bowling at the stumps, even with the ball 'doing a bit'

 

[Triggaaar]

9 down!

 

[Titanic]

Broad gets his 2nd... Starc nicks one to Buttler... another toe end trying to leave it... 119-9

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Starc gone!

 

[fat old seagull]

Alastair Cook proves he is a useless tosser again,Australia have WON the toss and will BAT.

Brilliant there's hope for me yet ! Just shows that being a useless tosser isn't always a bad thing ....

 

[Triggaaar]

FFS

 

[Titanic]

Australia 136 all out (36.4 overs)

Lyon, after a couple of fours, drags one on to Jimmy Anderson.

England will be quite rightly COCK-A-HOOP with that having lost the TOSS.

Anderson 14.4-2-47-6
Broad 12-2-44-2
Finn 10-1-38-2

Now to show that we can BAT in English conditions as well

 

[Triggaaar]

136 all out. We've avoided the follow on. Let's hope England don't suffer from scoreboard pressure.

Lunch Day1

Aus 132/0

 

[Badger]

Eng 74/6 at close

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Lets just hope we can see out the rest of the day with minimal damage to our top order, I can see a few more wickets falling today though...

 

[Pavilionaire]

A final swish from the tail and the Lyon is dead. James Anderson IS Walter Palmer.

 

[BensGrandad]

When was the last time England bowled a team out before tea on the 1st day of a test?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Lunch Day1

Aus 132/0

In the history of worst ever NSC predictions that has to be right up there, well done!

 

[Titanic]

Lyth survives a fairly torrid opening over from Starc... plenty of swing, but early from the hand.

and Cook gets England off the mark from Hazlewood's first ball,

1-0 (1.1 overs)

 

[Pavilionaire]

Two overs in and Lyth is STILL there. This match is truly remarkable.

 

[Frampler]

A final swish from the tail and the Lyon is dead. James Anderson IS Walter Palmer.

Wonderful commentary.

 

[Gazwag]

When was the last time England bowled a team out before tea on the 1st day of a test?

With three rain breaks - just 36 overs
