How good was that. So much for all the whinging about Cummins negative tactics Day 1. If he keeps field up and Poms score another 50 or 60 extra runs before declaration we probably lose that game. Turned out to be good captaincy. And then to lead the way in that run chase at the end to close it out, that was ice cold.

Being an Aussie it's no surprise that I'm no fan of the Poms, but seriously it's hard to find one player in their side that is even remotely likeable. Maybe Moeen. So happy Bairstow had a shocker behind the stumps, he is such a flog.

1-0 lead is huge. Surely Smith and Marnus are due runs next week.Lords test should be a good un. There's got to be a bit more in that wicket to give the bowlers a sniff.

Cracking game that one, I think the aggression with the bat is the POMS best chance of winning a game, the line and length of the Bendy Bullet, Boland and Cummins is very good.

Watching it yesterday the momentum changed when Cummins and Carey started playing some shots and going after the bowling, the middle order was timid and defensive with their approach.

The big question for the POMS is their bowlers backing up with four tests to play, Anderson, Robinson and now Moen have underlying problems.

Game 2 day one done and dusted.

Head was going great guns until a brain fade on 77 got him stumped.

5-339 at stumps. 300 in a day is not bad... 5 wickets (2 going to root.. not so much.)

Bing bang boom.


Also well done to the Aust womens team in their test win over Eng. We got a lot of coverage over here and it was quite a good match!

Take 5 down for 350 odd after being sent in. Could have been 3 for except head and green had brain fades at end. should be able to get another 100runs if smith stays in. 450 in first innings will win you most games. Didn’t see much bazball today - stokes didn’t come up with anything exciting.

Yeah, they definitely need to keep women's Tests at 5 days from now on.

Yet another century for Smith. Amazing that he has nearly as many 100s as 50s.

Unusual no wickets for Anderson and Broad on day 1. Not as dominant as they once were.

Australia will still be favourites but must be disappointed not to have at least another 50 runs on the board, just over 400 leaves any result still possible

Well...1-145 at tea and Boland must be giving a lot of side-eye to the selectors.

How safe is Green in the side?

Put aside the fact he always looks perpetually surprised when playing for Australia, like he's scared that at any moment someone is going to point and say 'hey, you're not a cricketer, you're the bar-tender.'

I don't see enough of him to make a call, just seems ... ineffective (?)

meh, maybe I'm grumbling as I want another wicket sometime this innings!

He's probably ok

yeah

ok

carry on,nothing to see here

(espec if yer an Aust fan, lol)

Nathan Lyon has gone off limping!!!!!

Hopefully it's nothing serious as Cummings can't bowl from both ends!

This aged well, lol.

Green gets a wicket from Pope who slogged a shot and was caught by Smith on the boundary.

(not a good shot tbh)
