And the ninth wicket falls, a dipping full toss from Stokes gets Labuschagne lbw, 177-9

Well they pulled that back from the fire. The short spells are the best way to bowl Jof, super effort.

Didn't even manage to get a maximum in darts.

Archer shows how having pace in your team is very helpful in getting rid of the tail quickly.  He was outstanding today.  If / when Anderson gets himself fit, Woakes could be in trouble.

Yeah Woakes and Stokes struggled.

Aus have a hell of a bowling attack, we’re going to need to bat well.

It was interesting today it looked like Jof wasn’t going full gun in terms of pace, albeit still touching 90, but focussing on using the conditions. That shows immense skill and awareness.

A good toss to win by Root and apart from the first hour after tea we were always on top. The Aussies losing 43-8 is a collapse of English standards. We haven’t had a weapon as potent as Archer for donkeys years and he will become the number one ranked bowler in the World within a couple of years, It’s going to be exciting to see.

I’m cautious until we’ve had a bat but if the sun shines then Headingley can be a batsman’s paradise so we need to capitalise.

He's a one-man full bowling attack. He's walked into the side and he's already the best and most important player.

Great day and the weather is looking better for the next four days.  So important that England go out and get over 400, something we haven't done for a while.

Bloody hell, only just found out the score. Was on the way home from work and they'd only just restarted, didn't look like much was gonna happen so didn't bother tuning in, turns out I've missed one of the greatest bowling displays in recent times !! What a difference this guy makes. So important we get around a 200 lead, we've got to win this test.

We have some momentum now, hopefully Roy can find some form and put on a show.  Root and Bairstow on their home ground, will want to do well.

He has impressed the hell out of me.

Broad, Anderson and Archer would be a fearsome attack if Jimmy can get himself 100% for Old Trafford
