Smith gone, sandpaper nonce.

 

30-3 now, some great pace bowling from England. Smith gone

 

Excellent bowling. Batting had been out weak zone for so long.

 

173 was always a tough chase

 

Excellent from Carse now.

31-4!

 

Excellent fight back!!

Who'd a thunk it?

 

You could tell from the first over of the match we would find it tough. Starc was on the money from the first ball, his third ball had Crawley tempted and beaten just past the edge and the last one a tad shorter got him edging to first slip. A hard fast wicket will favour the Aussies but this is where Archer, Wood & Co can make a name for themselves...

 

The main problem with Crawley having done a bit of research is that he’s ****e.

 

Looked at beeb website around 7:30 and headline said 'England hunt more Australian wickets ', so there was me thinking aussies around 230/6..... how wrong can you be?

Good fight back by the bowlers.... could be a low scoring cracker....

 

Excellent.... Green gone 83/6

 

Can we finish the 1st innings in a day?

 

Starc gone 118/7

 

The dangerous Carey goes....121/8

Still 51 behind.....

 

Incredible 1st day

 

Five for Stokes!

Amazing stuff.

 

Cracking days cricket. Terrible batting from us - which was always the worry.. great bowling from England and Wales..

 

What a day.....

123/9 at the close, still 49 behind

 

Unbelievable stuff. This England team is capable of anything - from crash & burn to thunder & glory!
Long wait for Day 2 now.

 

Can’t get anyone out with the kookaburra ball.

Apparently.

 

Stokes in superman mode, very timely...
