    Our BT is top draw, rarely drops below 40mb/s.

    I believe BBC have just recently got the rights to Twenty20 as well.

    My service remained exactly the same, the only difference was when something went wrong, they blamed KCOM and took forever to sort it.

    My neighbour also switched to BT and his service got worse, so he switched back. When he informed BT they disconnected the house next door to him by mistake and they took over two months to get his service back up.

    I think they're all a bit ****.

    It's not just broadband, most of the utility companies are useless. At my flat in London, Scottish Power kept sending me large electricity bills, despite the fact that on average, I was only actually in the flat about 15 hours a week. It took me almost two years to convince the useless bastards to turn up and find out they were reading the wrong meter. They ended up paying me £1.5k in refunds and £200 compensation.

    Thanks. I didn't know where Phil lived. The app doesn't seem too bad. I watched it on that this morning without too many problems.

    I wouldn't read too much into the pitch just yet, as it continues to dry out it'll get quicker and quicker, there was a noticable difference between deliveries the morning and eve session. Days 2 and 3 will be much quicker, tho suspect there will be less in it for the spinners too

    God, we could do with Stokes right now! if they get a couple of wickets in the morning with the new ball, we're one down for me. On a quicker and pretty flat wicket, I think they'll score quite big.
    Anyway, has anyone found a Kodi stream?

    Honestly think the next session will decide the series.

    If England can get to lunch 270/260-5. They'll post probably around 400 and have a real chance. Australia don't have much after Warner and Smith(a bit like England TBF)

    I fancy England in Adelaide underlights with Anderson and Broad.

    Agree. ****ing Stokesy you idiot!! They have the new ball immediately which can be decisive in Australia.
    Over the series, I have concerns about us taking 20 wickets once the new ball has gone (barring Adelaide).
    I wonder if our grinding it out is a strategy for the series with their four bowler (and injury prone) attack? Would like to see us try to hit Lyon out of the attack so he cant take the brunt of the work.

    Great start and bang two wickets.

    So frustrating. England need to pull something out the hat now.

    Disappointing collapse at the end.
    Bowlers tire, Moeen is.
    Got to shift Smith. Could be much worse, so crack on and get at em.

    Interestingly poised test match. Needless to say we need to get one early tomorrow, preferably Smith

    Quite an enthralling test match, this wicket is not your normal Gaba wicket. Vital we get Smith and Marsh out early tomorrow or it could get away from us. So far can go either way, which England knowing that Brisbane is often where the tone is set, will be happy enough so far.

    Decent start by England.

    Could do with nicking one out before the new ball, preferably Smith.

    He looks totally class and untroubled doesn't he? Great to see Roots totally innovative field settings though
