    Variable slow bounce first over. Good swing.. This could be hard work

    Oh Fran. Have you learnt nothing!

    Blimey, Root could have been out twice in two balls...

    Hampshire on course not just to lose by an innings, but lose by an innings within three days.

    Painful how many wickets we have lost in the last three matches playing no shot. Hear you go bowlers, just have our wickets.

    Where would England be without Joe Root? He can't stop scoring! (You do know he'll be out after tea now don't you? :oops:)

    You may love Bell there Fran, but I definitely prefer Root.


    Stop that giggling at the back of the class...

    295-6. England had recovered a bit, but will have to dig deep now.

    I know where we do beat the Aussies...the quality of our Persil whites. The Aussies jumpers in particular look like they have knitted a sheep without bothering to wash it....shocking standards. Lucky they can play cricket or they would be really embarrassed<laugh>

    343-7. Better than we could have hoped early in the day and worse than we could have hoped later in the day. Won't know till the Aussies have batted. Outfield was slow...let's hope it doesn't get slicker for the opposition.

    419-9, Moeen Ali caught in the slips after a great knock of 77. I question putting Broad in above Wood, but we really do bat down a long way these days. The Burnley Lara comes in...

    And immediately survives a review. Phew!

    Some Aussies like to keep their kit, especially caps, as long as possible throughout their test careers. Some sort Aussie macho crap probs.
