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

It's consistent with the Sky commentary being obscenely effusive in their praise for England as if they'd put up 550 and bowled Australia out for 250 though. England have a slender advantage but you definitely wouldn't know it hearing how Sky have talked about them.
I don’t think this is remotely true.

That replay of Moeen cheating clearly shows him looking across to the umpires, making sure they weren’t watching.

"Yes great memories of the Ashes, now Jason Gillespie as coach you had many talents to work with, all over the world but how long did it take Garry Ballance to learn your name?"

Spent most of my morning trying to rescue one of our cats who was stuck on the roof.

How did the cricket go?
England lead by 7

khawaja went bowled for 141 absolutely brilliant innings and Joe Root patted him on the back

then England had whacky field positions and the tail disappeared quickly bar one truly great six by Cummins

its game on now

Nothing of the sort. You can’t see the umpire in picture, he could quite easily be seeing if an over was starting to get fielding

I know you want to make a big deal of this but it’s nothing

Weird test match so far. Uninspiring fielding and bowling from Aus on day 1 salvaged by a bizarre declaration then England dropped like 5 catches in turn but Australian batsmen kept throwing starts away anyway and almost got to parity. Fun but strange.

Yeah it hasn't really been a high quality affair so far. Mostly about who can make the fewest mistakes.
