Love the Ashes so much, especially when we beat them.

It's finely balanced, these two have batted well and with Haddin to come. We need to come out hard in the morning.

What a day of cricket. Difficult to say who's on top at the moment.

The first session tomorrow will be vital; whichever side is on top by lunch will probably go on and win the test.

The first day of Ashes tests are always full of nerves; 17 wickets fell at Lords in 2005; 2009 we were 336-7 having been 299-2 and down under in 2010 we were all out for 260.

We need to be right at them tomorrow.

I thought Bairstow did will considering that was his first cricket for 35 days. I really can't understand why he hasn't been allowed to play any cricket in that time.

Interesting morning ahead - if we can get them all out for around 170 or less we will be very much favourites to win this match - could be over by Saturday, if not before.

Doesn't look like any cloud cover today, so could be tough to bowl. We need to knock them over quick.

Blue sky is a worry - i wonder if swann can get much from the pitch - the Aussies may go after him.
Good that broad is fit.

Haddin could be the key wicket here. With the cloud cover gone this could be hard work. At least we got rid of Clarke yesterday and the ball is only 21 overs old.

Don't underestimate Siddle's batting either. This is far from done, we need a really good first session to be properly back in the game.

I've got this horrible feeling that they'll bat beyond tea. Hope I'm wrong.
