Looks very cloudy

Will clear up by game start – England are batting.

Draw is probably a good result for Aus here, I'd happily see us get out of the game with no injuries and limited fatigue.

With the Lyon injury it seems a pivotal test in the series.

If we can win, we go to Leeds on the front foot. If you get out with a draw, or eveb sneak a win, then it will be a big body blow to us.

Stokes will declare before play starts then

Murphy is a very good young bowler and very similar to Swann so I can see him doing well in England

So who do Australia pick to replace Lyon in the squad if he’s out for a while?

Kuhnemann is injured so there’s basically nobody

 

[Gremlin]

If Brook wants it there's a ton out there for him.

Or else he could hit the first short pitched delivery he receives down the throat of deep square.

Cricket huh.

My only ? about Brook is his ability against the short ball

Really talented but not convinced against him against the short stuff

 

[Alex0paul]

Woooo

 

[social]

Geez Green can catch

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

Solid start.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Well done, good start lads.

 

[Alex0paul]

Excited to see Bairstow get bowled by Starc

 

[Alex0paul]

Officer Big Mac

 

[trundler]

This is the most Baz pairing. Keen to see how this partnership goes

 

[IcarianStyles]

Starc has a pretty good record in Tests against Stokes. Feels like he's more likely to get Stokes out compared to Cummins and Hazlewood..

 

[Woodster]

Not an ideal first over the day!!

 

[Gob]

I'd start over the wicket to Barstool and try swing one back in

 

[Daemon]

Wtf Green. Every single game.

 

[Prince EWS]

Beers to you!
