No breakthrough for England yet this morning. The new ball has been taken and will hopefully bring a wicket or two.

The match currently has Edgbaston 2005 written all over it right now, IMO. Strap yourself in...

I get that feeling too. It's my dad's birthday and we're meeting my parents for lunch. I imagine there's going to be a lot of phone checking going on.

Last night after a couple of wickets, I felt confident. Woke up this morning and thought that the Aussies have a good chance of getting that score unless we get a couple of early wickets before the bowlers tire. Think things are swinging their way.

Turned on the cricket, second ball, wicket. You're welcome as always, England.

 

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

There we are! Anderson takes Agar.

 

[Puck]

Thank you Jimmy!


And Schad…

Seems a pro and con of the new ball within the first 5 overs. Runs flow easier, but nicks carry further.

 

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

Jimmy takes another. 100 needed from the Ozzies from two now.

 

[st_brendy]

Still not over yet though.

 

[Puck]

Same again. 8 down! Siddle can bat a bit but it will need something amazing for Australia to win from here.

 

[- Doing The Lambert Walk]

There's the ninth...

 

[Puck]

Great catch from Cook. Jimmy clearly wants man of the match.

 

[st_brendy]

Hour and a half spell from Jimmy, unchanged. Brilliant spell.

 

[Saints_Alive]

Captain Cook makes amends for the dropped catch....Jimmy is already my man of the match, just pipping Bell and Agar.

He's got to be the best strike bowler in the world right now.

 

[st_brendy]

Certainly he and Steyn are some way ahead of the rest.

Pattinson can be deadly on his day, but isn't consistent enough. Still young though.

 

[st_brendy]

I get the feeling that Jimmy will be allowed one more over, if needed, but that will be it.
