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

[Spikey]

I was surprised that was given so quickly tbh.

 

[CartyDurham]

Got to be out here

umpires call at worst . Yes umpires call fair decision

217 the lead. Game in Australias favour now

Carey’s keeping has been good but he’d be rightfully criticised if he had missed any of the chances

He looks exceptional because his opposite number isn’t very good

 

[Spark]

I was surprised that was given so quickly tbh.

Any time it flies off towards the slips after impact it just looks incredibly out

 

[TimAngas]

This is going to be such a thrilling conclusion. I don't think Australia will walk this in at all.

 

[Uppercut]

England just giving up a Joe Root wicket for nothing in a game this tight will never stop being hilarious if they lose.

 

[Gob]

Full and straight Pat

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

The nervous 40s strike again.

 

[CartyDurham]

I wanted 280 but I’ll snatch a 250 lead here and now

 

[slowfinger]

i was giving that down leg

 

[Spark]

Can't imagine Robinson is getting too many in his half here

 

[quincywagstaff]

Re: comms criticism of Australia's defensive field placings, why would they change when apart from partnership, no England partnership this Test has lasted 15 overs?

If there going to attack with cameo innings, might as well limit the damage.

 

[TimAngas]

Would have liked Starc in this situation.

 

[CartyDurham]

Will Moeen just go T20 mode here ?

 

[social]

Slower ball

 

[Son Of Coco]

Really have to get to bed...but I hope Pat does some serious damage to Robinson's helmet. Either one will do.

 

[CartyDurham]

Slower ball

Under rated ball that. Harmison to Clarke in 2005 is the perfect example

 

[slippy888]

This Australia team remind me of the invincibles Australia team

 

[Preed]

England once again snatching defeat from victory.as I expected you can’t play as recklessly as Bazbal against Australian bowlers

 

[CartyDurham]

England just giving up a Joe Root wicket for nothing in a game this tight will never stop being hilarious if they lose.

And even more hilarious when Australia lose by three runs
