Is it inconceivable that England may be batting before lunch!!!!

And we will be batting in these conditions.  We could be 6 or 7 down by the end of the day ourselves.

[UK Redsox]

Make that 9

[manic-road]

Well well well nine down now.

[manic-road]

Johnson managed to make double figures.

[aj2k77]

Broad producing one of his legendary spells.

[Proposition Joe]

With all due respect, the Aussies can take their mental scars and stick em where the sun don't shine.

Still, let's not get too triumphal before we've had a bat. If any team can throw away a position like this it's England.

Imagine forgetting this was on this morning because you've got caught up in other things, suddenly realising you forgot, turning the radio on and discovering the Aussies are 50-9! I shan't be forgetting it any more....

[Chris Jameson]

Entering an important stage of the game, really need to finish them off now etc

[UK Redsox]

All out

[richard moore]

Which we have just done!

[UK Redsox]

Broad 8 for 15 in 9 and a half overs

[UK Redsox]

I expect Lyth wishes that the Aussies could have hung on for a few more minutes so that he didn't have to bat before lunch

[taylorsworkrate]

Awesome, just awesome from Broad. Excellent catching aswell, especially the one from Stokes which was otherworldly.

The Aussies really are flat track bullies. Any little bit of life in the pitch and their much vaunted batsmen cannot cope.

[manic-road]

Broad 8 for 15 in 9 and a half overs

That's just superb.
