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

[TimAngas]

This is a nice field and length to bowl to Khawaja. He just needs to wait for something that he can get fine on the leg side. I hope he's in no rush.

168 runs to get..... a long way away

Robinson has left the field

It's been a long session.

Khawaja playing for the draw

 

[CartyDurham]

Perfect start for australia here now

 

[trundler]

Robinson has left the field

England will be at sea without Robinson

 

[Burgey]

England missing someone like Wood here who could bore it up Boland’s nose at good pace.

Khawaja playing for the draw

England fans wish. Though, with their weak mentality, I bet they're hoping to try to keep Boland in, and hope Khawaja takes it to a draw.

That's the best chance that England have, imo.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Good placement from Boland.

 

[Molehill]

This is utter rubbish from Anderson, not bowled a decent line or length.

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

James "Fraud" Anderson

 

[MW1304]

Just not coming out the hand right for Jimmy.

Need all bowlers working in tandem, cannot just rely on Broad.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Could do with removing the nightwatchman. He is annoying now

 

[TimAngas]

If Robinson really is cooked, and Jimmy and Broad can knock over Australia, that would be the ultimate testament to these guys quality and durability.

This is utter rubbish from Anderson, not bowled a decent line or length.

He's bowled the right length to tie-up Khawaja.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Andersons radar has been off all game

 

[Nintendo]

If england's hope is that the nightwatchman nicks one down leg to the keeper things are pretty dire, hey.

 

[trundler]

Boland looks rock solid but the bowling hasn't been great. Too straight.

 

[Molehill]

He's bowled the right length to tie-up Khawaja.

Tied up, but not really threaten him, and Khawaja doesn't care anyway. He's just happy to be there and know that runs will come.

 

[social]

This is utter rubbish from Anderson, not bowled a decent line or length.

Looked a bit off all test

Not rubbish, just a bit meh

 

[Preed]

Robinson off the field just when we need him.Jimmy now showing his years.Even their night watchman looks comfortable.Just starting to worry.Australia at a canter at the moment.We need a Broadside urgently
