The Ashes: Australia in England 16th Jun - 31 July

[sussexpob]

Lyon strikes again.... 150/5...

England would be very sensible to bat out some time here. Another 1 or 2 quick wickets opens the game for Australia, England need to take some time out.

[Arthur Crabtree]

I guess England will see any less than a 250 lead as not defendable.

[sussexpob]

Massive wicket if this isnt overturned....

Survives it... looked out that, Bairstow gets away with it

[Arthur Crabtree]

Looks like England plan to dig their way out of the hole, rather than hit their way out.

[sussexpob]

Stokes caught out, but he's staying put questioning the catch

[sussexpob]

No, it actually hit the ball directly into the ground.... not out

[Arthur Crabtree]

Phew!

[sussexpob]

Phew!

Bairstow given out lbw, gone upstairs.... took an absolute age, so lets see this. Im not sure it looked out tbh

EDIT - Three reds.. just as England were starting to get in. Lyon was convinced, so he'd have reviewed it.

[sussexpob]

That's out, not going to be overturned that ...Stokes now gone....England in big trouble

Edit...yep. Stokes sending it upstairs in desperation i think. Moeen will now probably have a whack

[Arthur Crabtree]

Got something to bowl at though.

[sussexpob]

Robinson spoons up a catch, looks like Marnus has taken a pearler, but no..... it looks like hes grounded it

[sussexpob]

Two balls later, its Moeen who gloves a short ball (I think, may have been bat) behind..... 8 down

Here comes the Nighthawk..... to win it no doubt.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Mo goes. Not long now. Robbo and Broad will have a slog.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Bit of a collapse.

[sussexpob]

Going to return the short stuff here, Broad gets hit by one, then spoon another up in the air, but leg slip cant get to it.
