*Official* First Test (Edgbaston, Birmingham) 16–20 June

[Adders]

That’s the downside of their approach

This is a 450 par pitch minimum and you don’t get bonus points for scoring less at 5 an over

You don't get it at all do you?

Know he's gotten a wicket but don't think Lyon has bowled well, at least from a tactical perspective.

Bowling around the wicket and on the stumps just seems to negate his strengths and have him relying on batsmen errors.

 

[chris.hinton]

Brook will get 100

I think this is an argument that's been lost with Lyon long ago. He's not going to change, he's always going to go around the wicket in conditions like these in the first innings.

 

[Jfry]

Need to be bowling a touch fuller to dissuade that shot I think

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That's authoritative from Brook. Clean!

 

[trundler]

Pristine.

 

[Spark]

Travis Head m8

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Oh Head! What have you done?

 

[Spikey]

Are we sure that wasn't Marcus Harris

 

[Gnske]

Head < Wade

 

[Spark]

Honestly what an appalling piece of cricket all around

 

[Jfry]

ffs

Classic Australia dropping chances when challenged

 

[Niall]

Head dropped the Ashes.

 

[TimAngas]

Would have been a good catch.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Catches win matches. Now Brook will go on to score 250

 

[Burgey]

That's a big effort.

 

[morgieb]

Mate

Needs 200 now to make up for it.

 

[Jfry]

Then a knick falling short. England riding their luck on an absolute highway

 

[chris.hinton]

Head bottled it
