They've set a good platform, bloody Aussies!

The one thing that this Aussie side has displayed is a talent for squandering good starts.

They had a good first hour, I can't see it continuing. Both Watson & Rogers will give their wickets away.

Rogers is slaying our bowling at the moment.

Not really sure why Swann hasn't bowled yet. There's the square root of fuck all in it for the seamers

We badly needed that wicket, now we need a cluster to fall.

Surprised Watson didn't review his dismissal.

Swann should come on now, 20 minutes before lunch and two lefties in

Edit, he's into the attack

Khawaja gone, although even though I'm supporting England it sounds like it should have been overturned. Still good stuff.

Clarke and Rogers gone quick would be nice. It's been a fairly even morning.

DRS needs a thorough review. For now I'll take the decisions that go in our favour!!

People can complain about technology all they want, but it's essentially down to the fact the third umpires have been absolutely shocking at using the technology this series. That dismissal just sounds like he definitely wasn't out. You can forgive the onfield umpire, but the third umpire has made a right hash of it apparently.
