    430 all out, great effort. Early wickets would be nice?

    England really need them, I think. If the Aussies get a start they could score big here. But if I were a betting man I think I'd be thinking of a draw.

    Unless England suffer a second-innings collapse ....

    Aussies are one down for 123 after 29 overs. Broad's going for 8 an over. Oh dear.

    Poor pitch - not good enough for the Ashes.

    145 for 2.

    Warner gone for 17, Smith for 33. Rogers 74 n.o.

    I take it back. This could get interesting if England get another couple of wickets fairly quickly.

    185 for 3 - Rogers out for 95. Another wicket in the next hour and England will be thinking of a first innings lead.

    204 for 4. This could be fun.

    Voges gone for 31. 5 for 258 and the night-watchman's in.

    264 for 5 at stumps.

    Half a dozen or so.

    It's my naturally considerate and helpful nature, dontcha know?

    That was a very good bowling performance by England, especially bearing in mind the way the Australians started out. 308 all out from 180 for 2 is a major achievement. Two days and two sessions left, so they need to knuckle down and build themselves a decent lead I'd think 360-390 would be adequate.

    Maybe if Mr Bell condescends to actually stay at the crease for more than 5 or 10 minutes this time?

    Terrible shot for Cook to play less than 10 mins before lunch.

    Nice and easy - even the T20 addicts will be able to work it out (duh! ).

    Australia have 2 days to score 412 runs; England have two days to bowl them out.

    Think Australia could do this!

    Almost 1/4 of the way there! England MUST win this test from here if they want to get the ashes back. Need a wicket before lunch. Smith and Warner could easily make a big partnership

  15. #44
    Yeah if England don't win this I can't see them winning the ashes. HUGE day for England

    Too easy for England will be over today 👍🏼

    Been a great days cricket. Watch the T20, ashes till lunch, down to the Arns to watch a bit of Clackmannan 2nd XI, in the nets with my son who has his first ever match tomorrow, back in time to watch England polish off Australia. Awesome!!

    Well, that was a comprehensive victory. England outplayed Australia throughout - except maybe the first hour when they went to 43 for 3 and looked in trouble.

    One of the more pleasing things about it is the absence of prima donnas in the team - everyone seemed to be pulling for his mates - and the way the younger guys like Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali stepped up to the mark.

    Well done to them. Winning by 169 runs - I don't think anyone expected that.

    I doubt The Aussies will fancy batting last on that wicket.
    As I was saying. :-)

    You were right. They didn't.

    And I have to say that Ian Bell had a good second innings with the bat and a couple of good catches to start the ball rolling.

    He's been worse than a man short lately, but if he plays the rest of the series as he can play ...

    Terrific match and a terrific performance from England.

    Who's that guy Pietersen that someone mentioned earlier?

    They played in a round robin tournament and won. He took two wickets, two catches and scored a heap of runs. Won the first match 4 runs after he hit six from the last ball of the innings. More importantly though he had a ball and loved every minute of it.
    They were playing at Stirling 2nd eleven pitch as Canada and Oman played on the other pitch in the world T20 match. Got to see some of it and met all the players afterwards and they were all great. Thanks for asking

    Under 11. He just started playing a few weeks ago but has wanted to for the last couple of years. I played from I was 12/13 and loved it. My son is really enthusiastic about it too now that he has started.

    Yep it is and I wish I had the chance to play when I was at school - however Cricket in East Edinburgh schools wasn't on the agenda in the 80's.....

    My daughter got some lessons for a few weeks at her school last year and has a decent bowling action on her, but she's a walking wicket with a bat in her hand

    As for the test, another slow, flat road of a pitch. If the Aussies can rack up close to 600 then bowl well they have to hope England chuck it as they did in Cardiff.
