despite the loss of Warner the aussies are setting a good platform here

smith looking very comfortable

[rich1uk]

bah my attempt at a jinx almost worked straight away but that edge from Smith goes wide of Buttler

[rich1uk]

england dont review a plumb lbw

[Aidan11]

Looks like a big score here.

350+ if we don't start taking more wickets.

[rich1uk]

rashid has been very good so far

[Arthur Crabtree]

Wonder why the spinners are such an afterthought when Ball so often is expensive?

Could go either way this. If Australia don't keep wickets in hand they will lose runs at the end. Three down always feels a bit vulnerable.

[Durhamfootman]

I know that AC has been quite scathing about the media attention given to Woody, despite Plunkett taking all the wickets (which I agree with, btw), but in fairness to Woody, he does seem to take the really big wickets. Warner and Smith in this match, Williamson in the last. These are guys who can virtually win matches on their own if they are given enough time in the middle

[GarlicJam]

England having a good spell. Tightening Aus up nicely the last 10 or so overs.

[Durhamfootman]

Is Woody still bowling back of a length?

[rich1uk]

320-325 still on here

[Arthur Crabtree]

Rashid has the kind of figures that suggest he should have bowled out.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Slapsie Maxie taking his time to get going.

[rich1uk]

that looks a fantastic piece of fielding by Roy

especially after we just dropped one a couple of deliveries ago

[GarlicJam]

Fine catch by Roy. No doubt - even from these jaundiced eyes - from the first viewing, Slapsie was out.
