Big one. Cook gone for 2.

Kekule · « **Reply #282 on:** November 23, 2017, 12:13:55 am »

Well. That's not ideal.

Beautiful delivery from Starc to be fair

CheshireDave · « **Reply #284 on:** November 23, 2017, 12:13:59 am »

Not the ideal start.

That's one of the things I tend to dislike about test cricket. You get 3 overs of leaving it and barely any runs being scored and then the batsman gets out

mersey_paradiso · « **Reply #286 on:** November 23, 2017, 12:14:35 am »

Great start.

Could see that coming, few in swingers and then the outswinger [emoji85]

Come on Vincey. These pitches are made for you.

You might be posting that a lot over the next month or so.

Surprised you like football, by that logic. It's all about the tension, isn't it?

Swann is going to do my head in.

Lfsea · « **Reply #293 on:** November 23, 2017, 12:50:32 am »

Early thoughts after 8 pints...

Swann needs to talk less
Stoneman looks super solid
This pitch is an absolute nursery track

Welshred · « **Reply #294 on:** November 23, 2017, 12:51:55 am »

Beautiful response from Vince to Hazelwood chucking the ball at him

Me too. But he’ll be going home soon.

gerrardsarmy · « **Reply #297 on:** November 23, 2017, 01:05:18 am »

These two looking tidy.

Kekule · « **Reply #298 on:** November 23, 2017, 01:08:11 am »

Good discipline and concentration in that first hour. Have to keep it going for a while yet though.

Aussie commentator on BT is a Liverpool fan thanks to Craig Johnston...

Good couple of hours batting from England after the bad start.

gjr1 · « **Reply #301 on:** November 23, 2017, 02:18:05 am »

Steady start!!!

gjr1 · « **Reply #302 on:** November 23, 2017, 02:33:58 am »

Just started raining. Light drizzle

Crouch Potato · « **Reply #303 on:** November 23, 2017, 03:42:24 am »

This is one of the things i hate about an Ashes down under.

Most sports you are guaranteed action, but the weather can totally spoil a late night up.

gjr1 · « **Reply #304 on:** November 23, 2017, 03:55:52 am »

Overs are off!!!shuldnt be too long

Good morning all

Well that's pleasing

Roady · « **Reply #307 on:** November 23, 2017, 05:34:00 am »

Been up all fucking night with tooth ache. Not registered with a dentist either. Need my wisdom tooth out asap. Fucking killing me!!!! At least listening to this has cheered me up somewhat. Feared the worst when cook got out but we've been dogged here. Good performance so far.

Prof · « **Reply #308 on:** November 23, 2017, 05:49:26 am »

Vince edges off Lyon for a regulation catch to the keeper. Dropped.

Prof · « **Reply #309 on:** November 23, 2017, 05:58:51 am »

Stoneman bowled Cummins. Good delivery nipping back onto the top of middle stump.

Prof · « **Reply #310 on:** November 23, 2017, 06:03:29 am »

Tea 128/2. That wicket falling in the last over of the session.

Zend...en the clowns · « **Reply #311 on:** November 23, 2017, 06:20:17 am »

That's a really good effort from stoneman and Vince. Got to accept that world class bowlers will produce belters at some point and once it reverses there's no one better than Starc.

Important that vince tries to push on a little to keep the pressure off root at the other end.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #312 on:** November 23, 2017, 06:46:24 am »

Vince run out for 83. Damn that feels a waste. Well batted but shame he didn’t go on.

Good innings from Vince but feels like a missed opportunity for a really big score.

CheshireDave · « **Reply #314 on:** November 23, 2017, 07:36:57 am »

Root gone. :/

163/4

gerrardsarmy · « **Reply #315 on:** November 23, 2017, 07:39:27 am »

Thank fuck for reviews

CheshireDave · « **Reply #316 on:** November 23, 2017, 08:18:15 am »

196/4 at close.

Decent considering our two top batsmen failed.

11:30pm start this evening.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #317 on:** November 23, 2017, 08:28:36 am »

In the balance. Not a disastrous day and given Cook and Root barely made any the others acquitted themselves well. Bit of a worry that the new ball is here and after Woakes I can’t see the last three getting many. What’s a good score from here?

It’s starting 30mins earlier tomorrow? Geez it’s bad enough getting there for 10:00am! Missed breakfast this morning as it was!

run outs in a test match infuriate me, just no need to risk it.
