What time is tea?

Not soon enough.

Respite

my tea has arrived. Corned beef and cheese toasties

can’t see another wicket today. (Desperate attempt to get a wicket by me)

England definitely rattled by the result of the last game. Been all over the place both with the soundbytes and their bowling and fielding today.

I can't believe you've made this post and used the word "rattled" instead of spooked ffs

You are missing the point of jinxposting if you admit you are jinxposting.

 

[CartyDurham]

Spooky rattle ?

or just basically crap

tea

 

[Spark]

Think Aus just about shaded that session

 

[Michelle Fivefer]

I have to make it beyond obvious in case anyone takes offence

Has anybody else watching in Australia noticed that the TV picture & sound are fractionally out of sync? Sound slightly ahead of picture. It's driving me mental.

In the UK of course . but need to do things around the house and garden. So I generally listen to the TMS team and have enough time to get back in and watch it "live" if anything interesting happens,

By about a mile

Just a reminder that Australia won the 1st Test despite Smith and Labuschagne doing absolutely nothing....

However in 2nd Test.....

 

[Burgey]

Couldn’t ask for more after being sent in. Can all turn around last session but right now this has been a dream day for Aus.

Does the situation on TMS sound as awful as it looks on the TV?

True, but Khawaja batted like he never has in England before. Things returning to normal here.....and England just looking a mess to be honest.

I'm already thinking the best they can hope for is get out of Lord's with a draw and the series still to play for.

Did you miss the ironic tone?

Yeah, to get Starfighter-tier pessimistic here, even if it all blows up in the end, we'll get a score to bowl at. But if things go well - and if England don't shape up and pull their lengths back - then there's an opportunity to totally dominate this game within the next 50 overs, as in the WTC final.

That is grim.

Got through the tough period, the pitch looks flat now. 350-3 at close looks on the cards.....although obviously they'd declare with 20 mins to go!!

No.
