England win the toss! Bresnan In - Happy days. TheFasterBlade is right about Root. Time for him to step up. Cook could do with a good innings as well. Really looking forward to this.

Oooops - That's not gone well for England.
Was on the exercise bike from half 10, jumps in the shower at quarter past 11, get out & we've lost 3 fucking wickets! Wtf?!
Right, the Queens fucked off, & I'm not in the shower, so fingers crossed.
I'm scared to post in here now in case something happens.
If it does, I'm sorry!

Say nothing!!!!!!!! You've already cost us 3 wickets today!!!
*zips trap*
*bites tongue*
LOL!! No they have done amazing these two. Did you watch the whole day mate? That Bairstow thing was fucking hilarious! Bell with a ton! Awesome stuff.
😳 *runs and hides*
It's too fu*king late now!
England made a right balls of that at the end. 280 odd for 4 or 5 or would have been reflective of the day, but some reasonably clever/desperate captaincy from Clarke in giving Smith a turn, combined with some rank decision-making by England's middle order in underestimating Smith has put Australia back in the game.
All depends now on whether Aus can make 300+ in reply.

If England can snaffle another 50 - 60 runs with the remaining wickets at hand it's still competitive - Very difficult I know. Australia's day for sure but that's a lot of runs they still need to get. Given England's seam attack I am going to keep the faith. A lot of cricket left to play though which adds up to another great test.
He is - I've never been a Bell fan but that was a fantastic knock. Saved England's bacon.... Twice! Can't argue with that I suppose.
Bell reminds me of Clarke a little. I'm wondering whether he is going to make hay when he gets to bat. I wouldn't be surprised if he scores big on this wicket.

Aussies first day but not by much tbh.
Considering that they'll be batting last on this pitch I can't help but think that Australia will need to take a healthy lead into the second innings if they are to win this test. Even if England get rolled over in the morning, the Aussies are going to need 370+ and that still looks a big ask.
Have I mentioned that I've got tickets for Lords on Sunday?

I wonder if they agreed to go out swinging after 350?
They seem to be in 20/20 mode. Of course this bowling is helping.
Entertaining though!

Michelle?
Kinda inevitable playing that way they'd get something.
It hit something, sounded like the bat to me.

Pfeiffer.
Hahahaha. Quality.
About fucking time. Really costly runs to concede there.
