Ashes Second Test

[Acting Claret]

Any Australian win with the cheat in the team is tainted.

[Quickenthetempo]

All out for 416

Great morning for England 5 for 77 runs added.

[FCBurnley]

At last

[Quickenthetempo]

At last

Are you an Aussie or Scottish?

You sure hate this English team.

[Quickenthetempo]

Nice edit

[Clive 1960]

Now we go for it and score 500 + and ger Australia back in tonight and

[alwaysaclaret]

Let's hope we're not going to be giving cheap wickets away, and try our best to post a 100 without loss to start with.

[Andreshotboots]

I think Bazball might be All out ball pretty quickly with this Aussie attack on this surface..

[alwaysaclaret]

First thing to notice is starc straight into 90mph

[Newcastleclaret93]

I really like the look of that Tongue. Looks a great talent

Wood will come in for the rest of the series, and I think Jimmy will be the one to go I'm afraid.

[Bordeauxclaret]

I’ll be surprised if Wood is fit for three tests in a row.

[claretonthecoast1882]

I’ll be surprised if Wood is fit for three tests in a row.

I’ll be surprised if Wood is fit

I would have stopped there

[Quickenthetempo]

52 without loss after 10 overs

[CoolClaret]

Done about as well as we could have hoped for.

Game on!

[Newcastleclaret93]

Excellent day so far

[ClaretTony]

First wicket gone at 91. Superb piece of work by Carey to stump Crawley for 48.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Crawley out stumped looking well set

[Quickenthetempo]

Big turn from Lyon for the stumping.

[Clive 1960]

Crawley got in then got out when set well.

[alwaysaclaret]

It's just a headless chicken shot from Crawley, we just don't seem to be able to resist being over exuberant, cheap wickets in my opinion, just giving silly wickets away, don't see the aussies playing silly shots like that, but good work by Carey, but Crawley should never have given him the chance.

How did Head get out? 4th best batsman in the world

You must have missed Travis Head getting stumped by Bairstow yesterday.

[claretonthecoast1882]

Starc n Hazelwood proving very expensive to bowl so far

[ClaretTony]

50 for Duckett

[Quickenthetempo]

132 runs in the session from 26 overs.

Surely nowt to whinge about now?

[FCBurnley]

Very good session for England. Englands day so far after Aussies day yesterday

[alwaysaclaret]

Still a big job to do, 239 behind.

[alwaysaclaret]

You must have missed Travis Head getting stumped by Bairstow yesterday.

Suppose I must have.

[alwaysaclaret]

Duckett hitting the ball very well.

[FCBurnley]

Lyon injured. Looks serious. Huge blow for Aussies

[Vanders1994]

Could this be history repeating itself Australias premier bowler getting an injury just like in 2005

[Taffy on the wing]

Lyon looks gutted......he'll be a big miss for them.

[Taffy on the wing]

Pleasantly surprised by Englands batting.............right up to that terrible shot!

[FCBurnley]

Disaster as Pope throws his wicket away

[Ric_C]

Completely idiotic from Pope that. Especially as they're a bowler down

[Commy]

Commentator just put the kiss of death on Root by saying it's the best he has seen him playing.

[Down_Rover]

Lyon injured. Looks serious. Huge blow for Aussies

Looked like Achilles tendon to me. Looks like physio was feeling his Achilles tendon. If ruptured that is very nasty

[Ampth7]

Brainless batting from Crawley and now Pope……. when will we learn!!!!!!

[Taffy on the wing]

PHEW!...........no-ball.

[Ampth7]

Whatever happened to leaving the short ball!?!?

[Commy]

It's the way they want them to play.

[alwaysaclaret]

Aussies just drawing us in, just don't be drawn, it's not rocket science, they'll get fed up eventually, why keep taking this pull shot on. Baffling.

[Rileybobs]

Guys, we’re nearly 200-2 playing an aggressive style. That involves taking some risks, sometimes it will come off, other times it won’t. There’s bound to be the odd poor decision. This is better than trying to stay in the game and still losing wickets from unplayable deliveries.

[Ric_C]

Tuffers doing his nut in on TMS, can't blame him.

Aussies are on the ropes, keep them there

[alwaysaclaret]

If their going to take it on it has to be Botham like out the ground.

I demand attacking, exciting cricket without the possibility of getting out!!!!

[Burnley1989]

Its a shame though, I really enjoy watching Lyon, this series needs all the best players at their best (A lot will disagree though )

[Ampth7]

It's the way they want them to play.

Yes, but at times it is completely brainless! You’re 180/1, bowlers starting to look a bit ragged, forcing them to revert to the short stuff with 5 fielders on the fence behind the bat and we gift them catching practice by planting it straight down their throats. Ridiculous Cricket!
