The Ashes: Brisbane.

[sussexpob]

This feels like an Indian pitch bowling pattern. Bowl spin with the new ball, pace with the old ball.

If this pitch had been served up in Delhi, people would be setting themselves on fire in anger. If Lyon doesnt take a few wicket today, England could bat into day 4. There isnt anything there.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Fifty for Malan. Fifties for three of the four English Ashes debutants.

[sussexpob]

Continues to look suspect under the short ball.

[sussexpob]

Got to sting, that one

[sussexpob]

Top edge drops safely. Australia arent getting any luck

[sussexpob]

Short ball finally does him. Played it poorly all day, Malan will get eaten alive at Perth

[Arthur Crabtree]

Just when England should have been turning the screw.

Should be tough for the Aussies to get these last five wickets, but it feels like England are still under par here.

The angle was against him. Easy to say now... but maybe not a % shot. Though England may be thinking they have to turn the score over.

Work tomorrow....

Struggling to play short balls on this pitch, you arent going to be able to survive on pitches that actually have bounce and pace on them.

Lovely ball, Lyon deserved that.... looks very out, not sure id bother Moeen

[sussexpob]

Yep. Pointless review

[sussexpob]

Sudden switch in momentum. Aussies suddenly feel well ahead

[Arthur Crabtree]

England get 350 and the Aussies will feel job well done.

Mo under review.

Out.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Add two wickets. The Boycott Paradox.

Cor did Woakes nearly chip that to Lyon?
