Really annoyed about bt sports; having to listen to TMS.

Will try for a dodgy stream over the weekend I reckon.
Agree mate although I have it I prefer it on Sky because they do pretty good stuff before and after the game. BT just seem to show it and that's it.
TBH It should be on the BBC for free.

Just turned in the cricket. England all out for 302.
Aussies already 1 / 7 ..... ( Sh!tzenhousen!)
Oh well, hopefully Warner and co can crack a score together.

Good that our weak spots Stoneman, Vince and Malan all delivered. Unusual that we got close to nothing from Cook, Root, Bairstow and Woakes, with Ali in the middle.

Get Smith early tomorrow and make sure Marsh remembers he has a bad back, could be very close.

Agree Cook and Root need to step up. We cannot rely on others too much.
 
Going to get up early tomorrow to catch England v tonga rugby league semi-final and the end of play.

Maybe one for AussieQPR, but Not sure why that is on so early, don't they have floodlights in New Zealand?

An hour or so to go...should be interesting...hopefully we can get them out quickly.
 
Marsh gone 175-5. Funnily Geoff Boycott was moaning just before the wicket about the bowlers and as soon as it was taken he says that's why Anderson and Swann are the best...<laugh>
 
No commentary is complete without Bumble. The rest of the Sky team is excellent too.

Not as bad as I thought though.
