Aussies won the toss and will bat first.
Aussies won the toss and will bat first.
Aussies win the toss and decide to bat.
Who ever the English Captain is said he would have batted first also.
Comments are that the Pitch looks dry.
A right royal toasty, middle of summer, 17C there
the excitement is mounting.

People are talking up Smith.
If he gets 20-30+ in each innings and sees and frustrates Archer ... Mission accomplished
Time for a Warner 1st innings ton
fook, thats advantage oz.
Is it just me or do neither Harris or Labuschange's helmet have the newish 'neck guard'?
Shit bloke strikes again, Aussies waste a review.
Harris out lbw
2/28
Yes, agreed ... but neither Harris nor Labuschange was/is wearing it.
Smith, at bat now is wearing one.
KW ... are you watching the game?
Is the pope a catholic? and does a bear shit in the woods?
linky for anyone that wants.
That review smacked of desperation to get Smith out.
Wasted in my view, it was always going to be Umpire's Call at best.
PLAY ABANDONED
That day feels a bit like a tease - it was fascinating while it lasted but there wasn't enough play to really see who came out on top.
The exciting news for the Aussies is Steve Smith is still at the crease, on 60 not out, and he'll be joined by Travis Head (18 not out) tomorrow.
At 3-170 on balance it's fair to say it's Australia's day, but certainly no decisive advantage.
As with so much of this series, everything seems to depend on Steve Smith's fortunes again.
200 from modern day Bradman would be good. Even pain in the butt can't lose it from there.
100 Smith
Idiot Wade threw it away
Paine needs a 50 to hang with Smith
Seems my weather forecast wasnt too far wrong after all, still dumb playing test matches this time of year in N England.
Lovely no ball from Leech!
