To his credit, his temprament is rock solid, and he is prepared to really grit and stick it out

Nothing says Yorkshire like an Aussie bowling to a Zimbabwean in an Ashes test in Wales

This did make me chuckle

There's a lad in our local Morrisons on the checkout looks like Peter Kay.

He didn't look amused one day as he got hold of the garlic bread I had in my trolley and as he passed it along the scanner I said "That's the future that is".

I'm sure he wont have heard it before.

Cptn. Funky needs to realise that it's got to be pretty plumb to get the decision overturned.

Haze gets Lyth. Bell comes in. England miles ahead.

No surprise... Ballance goes for a duck

by **Arthur Crabtree** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 1:49 pm

Oh, Ballance out. I take back the lack of bounce!

Very inconsistent, then.

Starc has bowled really well so far... can see wicekts falling this afternoon

by **Aidan11** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 1:57 pm

7 wickets down already today.

Time for England to start picking up the run rate, especially if wickets are going to be falling regularly.

Not watching, but is the pitch starting to misbehave, hearing bits coming out of it?

by **Aidan11** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 2:02 pm

I have to go out shortly.

Looks like this could get interesting this afternoon.

It's raining boundaries.

Amazing how fast momentum shifts

Couple of fours from bell and suddenly the runs are racking up

by **sussexpob** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 2:09 pm

Better from England, forcing the Aussies to think more defensively.

How much will England want to set? At least 350-400?

by **Aidan11** » Fri Jul 10, 2015 2:09 pm

Rate more than 4 per over at the minute.
