Nice 50 partnership has got us out of trouble

Hmmmm

Covered End

I'm hoping Anderson will roll them over. It looks like his kind of wicket.

Covered End

180-6

Prior c Hughes b Siddle 1

The good news is that Siddle (5 wickets now) has bowled decent, but the rest look distinctly average at best. We've got ourselves out apart from Root.

McBobbin

bugger. Siddle with a 5-fer. England in the poop.

Chris_from_Sidcup

Oh dear

red_murph

Big trouble now.

ValleyGary

Bairstow needs to keep calm

ISawLeaburnScore

Win the toss and bat and you have to be looking at 450+

I would probably take 300 now...

charlton_carl

Always should of put them in, we have seen how bad we start a series witht the bat. Should of put the pressure on them

ISawLeaburnScore

A lot of poor shots/shot selection today.

We will have to bowl and field like trojans.

ValleyGary

all that talk of a whitewash etc was so muggy. Far too much over confidence from our media. Long way to go yet though.

Not sure what has irritated me more, England or Andrew Strauss's highly grating and morose voice.

bc_addick

Will it go 3 DAYS?

Elthamaddick

Strauss is very annoying (well his voice is)

Bermuda_red

Don't panic.....yet. First day of last Ashes series (2010/11) in Australia, England all out for 260 in Brisbane with Siddle getting a hat trick and 6 wkts in total.

Broad off the field: Injured ?

He took a blow to his shoulder whilst batting, not sure if that's why?
