Just bowl them out today...Rain coming Sunday so please don't let them draw by default. Our bowlers look revitalised and Wood is pretty special. Come on England...(and I never expected to be writing in such a positive vein just a few weeks back then they came home from the WI with the team in tatters).

Yes well done England. Broad is so much better when he is pitching the ball up and not dropping it too short. Also Cook had a good game as Captain even though the big decision of declaration was not needed.

One down. Four to go...but I have a feeling Lords won't be quite so easy and if Starc is out, then Siddle would be a perfect replacement as he is much in the same mould as Anderson or McGrath. Wicket to wicket, line and length and hard to play. Perfect for the Lords wicket. Cannot wait!

that lords test could be won on the first morning...by whoever wins the toss, and this morning it's the Aussies. Looks like a slow wicket so I expect high scores, could be 350+ by close. The Aussies will look to attack from the start, especially as it is at Lords.

I can see them getting 600+ and then beating us by an innings before the rain disrupts the game.

joke
embarrassment
lythe and butler couldn't defend one stump, bell and balance all over the place and we aint got a bowler with raw pace, the aussises must a been at half pace in Cardiff
we are doomed, this test reminded me of watching English cricket in the 80s, I feel sorry for root and stokes
