    Appreciate the attacking intent, but after 2 false shots in a row did he really need to go for that wide one?

    Out of the 2 openers Duckett has been in better form but he didn't look that comfortable this morning. Nerves maybe?

    Think so. Saw him give a massive exhale when he scored his 1st boundary

    Yep. Because that’s how we play! If you think you can score, hit the ball. Stokes won’t mind

    Solid start. Odd from Australia as they are giving us easy runs when the ball is hard. If they'd backed themselves we might be 90-3 rather than 66-1 after the first hour.
    As Hussain just said on comms - we'll know at the end of the day whether these tactics are right

    Not arguing mind! He should’ve left it! But I suppose you ahd I have hindsight (and, well personally, 40 years of watching test cricket) behind us!! Never faced a ball any higher than club level!!

    Edge from Crawley, caught behind but no appeal!

    he's improving as a commentator. It first he tried to be opinionated and controversial like Warne, but without the nous and presence to back it up. I'm not a fan of his, but have enjoyed his commentary this morning

    He appears to be English again after spending the last few years as a South African
