This is garbage from England so far this morning. The game is in danger of running away from us quickly at the moment

[taylorsworkrate]

Knew that would do it!

[Behind Bluenose Lines]

Knew that would do it!

 
The curse of the H & V poster!  I was starting to get really pissed off about this first innings for England!

[PaulWinch again]

Bairstow really is having a shocker behind the stumps.

[PaulWinch again]

We badly need a couple of wickets quick.

[PaulWinch again]

Right come on.

Mo’s index finger injury is a problem.

[PaulWinch again]

Nice that Robinson is getting into it now.

[Richard E]

Genius move declaring now fully vindicated!!

[PaulWinch again]

Great effort to pull it back. Now bat well!

[tomd2103]

Really good effort to bowl the Aussies out and have a lead.  This match is right in the balance now.

Having said 350-400 se4emed about right for the first innings I reckon we're looking at about 300 this time round.

I reckon scoring off Lyon is the key for us here. If we can have him going at 5-6 an over it creates big pressure on Cummins who will want Lyon to bowl most of the overs from 1 end.

I'm about a 15 minute walk from Edgbaston and we've not had a drop of rain here. Belting it down at the ground. This is silly!

Might be viewing it through England tinted spectacles, but I’m not sure Green caught that.  Crawley gone now as well.

[Risso]

Uh oh...

I think it was a brilliant clean catch from Green. An utterly ludicrous pathetic shot from Duckett to play with the ball moving all over the place though.
