Christ, if we could just have Wood and Archer fully fit what a difference it would make

Yep, even if they were only fit enough to rotate through a series.  To have them both in the same side would be great though.

Well done the Villa man

Go'on Woakesy!!

Get in there Chris Woakes!

65 - 3 now.  Really need to try and press on now and restrict them to as low a total as possible.

England will field. Wrong decision IMO. To win this match take control by batting first.

I disagree. The pitch is in favour of bowling first. England just have to bowl a hell of a lot better than the shitshow they served up 1st day at Lords.

Delighted so far😊

Bairstow drops a sitter. How many now?

[olaftab]

Thanks again Jonny.

[Sexual Ealing]

This'll do.

[Jane]

That's better!

Same old Aussies...

A good morning session, they’re certainly up for this one!

[LeeB]

Wood's impact is far wider than just his own bowling, it's creating uncertainty and discomfort that the others can exploit, the whole attack looks so much more threatening.

Need to finish the job here - it’s been great, but dropped catches again

[tomd2103]

Been following it on the text feed and it sounds like a great morning of cricket.  We've got a chance again here and we've simply got to take it this time.
