    The shortest innings in test history no less. Have some of that!
    If we had another 20 mins at the start of our innings we could or would have had a lead by lunch on day 1 batting 2nd. Un ber lievable!!

    Another record for Root. The first century for the team batting second on the first day.

    Loads of 100 year old records busted today.

    Really rubbing it in. Aussie went to bed earlier hoping it wouldn`t get much worse. I think it just did. A lot worse.

    He`s a top lad. I reckon he`s going to be suffering when he gets up and sees this lot.

    I've been out all day - couldn't believe that we'd shot them out for 60 <yikes>

    You`ve missed an absolute corker mate. Never known anything like it. Watching it and listening to the radio commentary.

    Henry Blofeld man. I think after the first five wickets the poor owld bugger had to go for a lie down. <laugh>

    So many hundred year old records gone today. Incredible.
