    Root's put down is a reminder of how good Jordan's slip catching is. Would Chris suck up his pride and be our 12th man substitute throughout the Ashes?

    Good to see Broad looking dangerous, hopefully kicks off some form.

    That's got to be a wind up.

  • I saw a tweet that said that the opening session was worth the 20 quid alone.

    I couldn't agree more, which now means I'm watching free Test Cricket ... at Lord's.

    Could be worse ...

    Why? Great coaching experience and knows Farbrace. Gillespie would have been a gamble imo.

    Fair enough. I must confess to not knowing too much about him. I think I'm just a bit disappointed about Gillespie. A young, innovative coach. I think he would've been good and I was quite excited by the prospect. Oh well, hopefully they've got the right man. We'll see

    Stokes the new Botham? Not yet but two wickets in two balls including McCallum and he's man of the match already.

    61-5

    Watling gone for 59. 168-6

    Anderson gone lbw for 67. 174-7

    Anderson reviews it. Decision stands on umpire's call.


    23 overs left in the day. England need three wickets with only 8, 9, 10 & 11 left to bat.

    England have been fantastic today. It feels like a long time since I've said that!

    So 1 wicket needed from 14 overs.

    I predict they will hold out.

    10 & 11 together needing to survive 14 overs.

    So 1 wicket needed from 14 overs.

    I predict that Moeen will make a diving catch off broad........
