*Official* 1st Test at the SWALEC Stadium

[Riggins]

This game has Aus being bowled out in the fourth whilst scoring at 5 an over batting for the draw written all over it.

 

[Uppercut]

England in great shape now. Even if they didn't score another run, 227 would be a tough enough chase.

No CW commentary?

Nah, pitches slow down nowadays the ball will stop having balls fizz through and just be low which isn't that hard to play.

The bat before wicket appealing from Lyon is really taking the piss now

Wouldn't call 227 that tough here. England in the driving seat though no doubt.

Happy the way this has gone so far, obviously it not ideal to be 3 down for nothing again but given the lead and the pitch we are totally in control of this and should go on to win from here. Good to see Bell get a few, stops the talk of him losing his place for now at least and it a great troll to the Aussies whenever he scores some runs.

Don't really agree with that. I mean England could certainly win defending that but I'd back Australia to chase 227. Anything much over 300 will be very tricky though.

Hey 3 down for 80 is one of our better starts nowadays, profligacy.

 

[Pothas]

These two need to take the lead past 300, the lower middle order could have a lot of fun then.

 

[Spark]

Lack of control is so ****. Bowl a consistent line and length ffs

[grecian]

No third man, good, 8 more runs.

 

[Spikey]

Mark Nicholas is right #bowlTPC

A low moment for Spikey.

Haven't all game, what makes you think they will start now?

True, be nice to reach 100 before Root comes out though.

 

[Howe_zat]

Looks like Siddle would have been a good call. Only with hindsight, like

 

[Riggins]

Norris has been blowing on his hands an awful lot today.

Why delay the magnificence
