It just gets better and better.

**NOLA** · 11-07-2013 11:20 AM

Englands bowlers too good or the ozzie batsmen that bad?

***BroxburnHibee*** · 11-07-2013 11:22 AM

England's innings not looking too shabby now.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 11-07-2013 11:41 AM

What a strange sport this can be, 47 run partnership for the final wicket so far.

Bowlers too good until they started bowling differently to the no.11, nae idea why they changed the tactics, its obviously not working though Agar has batted well.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 11-07-2013 11:57 AM

Agar is now the highest scoring no.11 on Test Match debut in the history of the game. A record that goes back to 1902, I'm sure that year carries some significance!

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 11-07-2013 12:29 PM

Fantastic mornings entertainment!

Aus 229-9! Crazy stuff!

And shows why test cricket is much more exciting than 20/20. Great entertainment

I am just gutted to be sat at work and can't watch it.

Same, This last wicket stand sounds incredible.

117-9 to 278-9 and counting. Incredible.

Agar on 96

**marinello59** · 11-07-2013 01:53 PM

Shame Agar didn't get the century but what an innings.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 11-07-2013 02:43 PM

What a turnaround again, Root out for 5, Trott out lbw first ball, England 11-2 @ tea.

***Part/Time Supporter*** · 12-07-2013 05:39 AM

England coming over all Neil Lennon, asking for "clarification" about Trott's dismissal. Here's your clarification guys: it was plumb lbw and there was no clear evidence he hit the ball. Capisce?

I still think they'll win despite being a bunch of torn faced gits who are nowhere near as good as a) they think they are or b) they were 2-3 years ago.

**heretoday** · 12-07-2013 07:45 AM

Cricket seems to be more entertaining than it was back in the day. It's like a onedayer all the time.

I thought the ball quite clearly moved off the bat in the super slo mo pictures. According to the SKY commentators there was a problem with the Hot Spot system which resulted in the deflection of the ball not being recorded.

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 12-07-2013 10:58 AM

KP out for 64 playing on to his stumps, 121-3

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 12-07-2013 11:09 AM

Cook out for 50, 131-4, England in big trouble now methinks.

**marinello59** · 12-07-2013 11:11 AM

Agar is certainly enjoying himself. I wouldn't write England off yet after events so far but it doesn't look good for them.

**Treadstone** · 12-07-2013 11:13 AM

The coverage that SKY has brought to cricket has been fantastic, with a nod to C4 when they got rights a few years ago. Commentators are fantastic though they could do with some Aussie input during the match.

Bumble - charismatic, informative, witty, intelligent and funny. What Mark Lawrenson tries to be and fails miserably.

**Calvin** · 12-07-2013 11:41 AM

I've really enjoyed this test so far, so much so that I'm gonna get my act together and head down to Durham for a day.

I also support England at cricket (only sport that I can bear to see them win at) however all the chirping about the third umpire yesterday has put me right off.
